Pulled Pork Carnitas Quesadillas

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Melt butter in a fry pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 7 minutes, stirring every now and then so they cook evenly.

2. 2

   Add remaining Caramelized Onion ingredients and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until sticky and caramelised. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a fry pan over high heat. Add Pork Carnitas and press down lightly with a spatula to help crisp up. When the Pork Carnitas are heated through and the underside is golden brown and crisp (about 1 to 1/2 minutes), remove from pan (do not flip).

4. 4

   Lay out the tortillas. Divide the cheese between the tortillas, scattering evenly across half of each tortilla.

5. 5

   Top with pork carnitas, corn, capsicum and Caramelised Onion. Season to taste with pepper and salt.

6. 6

   Fold the tortillas in half.

7. 7

   To freeze: Wrap each tortilla tightly in cling wrap and freeze until required. Defrost before cooking.

8. 8

   To cook: Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add as many quesadillas as will fit in the pan.

9. 9

   Cook until nicely browned on the underside (about 1 1/2 minutes), then flip over the folded edge. Cook the other side until browned, then remove from pan.

10. 10

    Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a very low oven. Keep them in spread out in a single layer so they stay crisp.

    Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.
