Homemade Pull-Pork Quesadillas
Ingredients: Boston Butt, Coleslaw, Chopped onions, Kinder chipotle lime sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
First, wash your Boston butt, then seasoned it however you like it. Cook your Boston butt in a crockpot for 7 hours. About the 4th hour, take the Boston butt out and put in a safe bowl and pour the grease out. Put the Boston butt back in and cook the remaining 3 hours and add some of your favorite barbecue sauce and stir it all the way.
For the quesadillas: Spray your pan on a skillet. I used a wok to cook mine in. Set your pan or skillet on medium-high, put the tortilla wrap, add your cheese, some of the pulled porked, slaw, chopped onions and chipotle sauce (any sauce you use) and add a little bit more cheese. Let it melt and fold the wrap in half and flip it for 2 minutes.

One of the things I love about making homemade pull-pork quesadillas is how versatile and satisfying they are as a meal. Slow-cooking the Boston butt in a crockpot allows the meat to become incredibly tender and juicy, making it easy to shred. If you're like me, the trickiest part is balancing the flavors – which is where the chipotle lime sauce really shines. Its smoky heat paired with a slight tang really complements the richness of the pork. When assembling the quesadillas, I find that layering the shredded mozzarella cheese both under and on top of the fillings ensures every bite has that perfect cheesy stretch. Adding coleslaw introduces a refreshing crunch that contrasts nicely with the softness of the meat and melted cheese. Also, don’t be afraid to experiment with your favorite barbecue sauces or spicy condiments to tailor the flavor to your liking. Cooking them in a wok or skillet sprayed with just a little oil gives you a nice crispy exterior while melting the cheese to perfection. I recommend using medium-high heat but keeping an eye so the tortilla doesn’t burn before the cheese melts. Flipping the quesadilla carefully after folding helps seal in all the delicious fillings. These quesadillas also make an excellent solution for using leftover pulled pork, turning simple ingredients into a quick, mouthwatering dinner that can satisfy any craving. Whether serving them with extra chipotle sauce on the side or a simple salad, they’re a crowd-pleaser at family dinners or casual gatherings.
