Pulled Pork and Caramelized Onion Quesadillas

Category: Sandwiches

Yield: 4 quesadillas

3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large yellow onion, sliced
pinch of brown sugar
salt and pepper, to taste
8 small tortillas
2 cups (cooked) pulled pork
2 cups shredded pepperjack cheese
bbq sauce for garnish/dipping

directions:
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan over medium-low heat.

Once melted, add the olive oil and onions, stirring occasionally, until they are deep golden brown and caramelized - about 30 minutes. Add a pinch of brown sugar and season well with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Lay 4 tortillas flat and divide cheese evenly on all four tortillas. Top with caramelized onions and pulled pork. Top with a second tortilla.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let melt. Add quesadilla and cook for about 2-4 minutes, until golden brown on the bottom. Carefully but swiftly flip the quesadilla, cook for another 2-4 minutes on the other side, or until cheese is melted.

Repeat process until all 4 quesadillas have been cooked. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and serve with a drizzle of bbq sauce.
