Slow-Cooked Pork Carnitas Quesadillas
Tender pork shoulder slow-cooked with citrus and spices, then crisped and folded into a toasted tortilla with melted cheese for a savory crunch.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz pork shoulder
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lime juice
1 clove garlic
0.5 tsp ground cumin
0.5 tsp dried oregano
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 medium whole wheat tortilla
0.25 oz Monterey Jack cheese
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
PREPARATION
Rub the pork shoulder with cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Place the pork in a slow cooker with orange and lime juices; cook on low for 8 hours until fork-tender.
Shred the cooked pork and briefly sear in a hot pan to achieve crispy edges.
Place the tortilla in a clean skillet over medium heat and sprinkle cheese over one half.
Top the cheese with the shredded pork and cilantro, then fold the tortilla in half.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
