These Pulled Pork Quesadillas are a mouthwatering lunch or dinner idea. Easy to make, these quesadillas are a great way to use leftover pulled pork, or make pulled pork using this recipe. You will love these delicious quesadillas.
Much like Salsa Verde Beef Enchiladas, the meat for this dish is prepared in the slow cooker or Instant Pot, if you prefer. After that, these pulled pork quesadillas come together very easily. You know how much I love my slow cooker recipes and this is a good one.
I recommend pairing pulled pork quesadillas with this easy cilantro lime rice.

Pulled Pork Quesadilla
Quesadillas are a great meal idea. They require very little work and they taste amazing. While a basic quesadilla is made with cheese, there are so many ways to change it up. Adding this amazing recipe for pulled pork, and these quesadillas are taken over the top to be a filling meal.
How to Store Pulled Pork
Once the pulled pork is cooled, you want to store it in the refrigerator. Be sure to put the pork in an airtight container for a freezer bag. It will last up to 5 days when it is stored properly.
How to Reheat Pulled Pork
When you are ready to reheat the pulled pork, you want to use a skillet to reheat larger amounts. If you are reheating a smaller amount, it can be reheated in the microwave. Reheat the amount you need. This will keep the rest from getting dried out.
Can Pulled Pork Quesadillas Be Made Ahead
while the pulled pork is made ahead, you do not want to make the quesadillas ahead. The tortilla will get soggy and it does not taste good when it is reheated. To save time, you can get everything together in individual bowls and then put the quesadillas together like an assembly line when you are ready to make them.
