Quesadillas with Pulled Pork

Yesterday, we had pork belly ribs with bbq sauce, rice and a simple coleslaw.  It was lovely and I was left with 2 ribs.  Not enough for two people really unless they eat the same amount as a sparrow does.

  • Waste not want not, so I pulled the pork belly into shreds, which is easy enough seeing it had been slow-cooked.
  • Mixed it with the bbq sauce (is the sauce I cooked them in), added a tin of sweetcorn and a good dealing of fresh coriander.
  • Take 2 flour tortillas and spread some of this mixture onto one of them.
  • A generous portion of grated cheese on top. I had Gouda, but a good quality Cheddar or Monterey Jack is what is normally used.
  • Place the 2nd tortilla on top and press it firmly down.
  • Place the tortilla in a non-stick pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  • Slice in 4 or 6 triangles

  • Tie a tea towel around your neck as a bib, you'll need it !
  • Serve with sour cream and guacemole, which I don't have a this moment (bummer) so I'll have to make do with leftover coleslaw.  I don't mind because I love coleslaw ;) 
Now, don't go assuming I only made the one. No no no ... I used up all of the mixture and 8 flour tortillas in total (is always good for a snack later on in the evening or the next day ;) )

 To BBQ Spare Ribs Recipe  I will write an update on that recipe in the future, because it has evolved a lot.
Thanks for visiting and don't forget, I really appreciate your comments.

  1. It's like The Feeding of the Five Thousand! Two leftover ribs made into such a substantial meal...
    Bet it was nice though.

  3. Hehe Mark, it is amazing how one can 'stretch' food with a bit of magic. ;)

    J, I only started making them about a year ago after seeing Phil Vickery throwing some together on TV. Never had quesadillas before either.
    I always have flour tortillas in my store cupboard, though. Easy peasy as a stand-by for a fab meal.
