Pork Quesadillas image

This version is inspired by the Cuban sandwich; bread is replaced with tortillas and grilling them adds a smoky flavor.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large garlic clove
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grates
1 pork tenderloin (3/4 to 1 pound)
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
4 flour tortillas (10-inch or burrito-size)
4 tablespoons spicy brown mustard, plus more for serving
6 ounces thinly sliced baked ham
3 to 4 dill pickles, thinly sliced lengthwise
8 ounces provolone or Swiss cheese, coarsely shredded (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Use garlic and salt to make a paste. In a small bowl, combine with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the oil. Rub all over pork.
  • Heat grill to high; oil grates. Place pork on hottest part of grill; cover. Cook, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 155 degrees. 10 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain.
  • Meanwhile, place onion slices on cooler part of grill; cover. Cook, turning once, until soft and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce grill to medium-low.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon mustard on each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Dividing evenly, layer half of each tortilla with ham, pork, onion, pickles, and cheese. Fold tortillas; press to close.
  • Lightly oil grates. Place quesadillas on grill; cover. Cook, turning once, until browned in spots and cheese has melted, about 4 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve immediately.

These quesadillas were amazing! The filling was flavorful and juicy, and the tortillas were crispy and golden brown. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my quesadillas didn't turn out at all like the picture. They were dry and the cheese didn't melt. I'm really disappointed.

These quesadillas were good, but not great. The filling was a bit too salty for my taste and the tortillas were a bit too greasy. I would probably make these again, but I would adjust the recipe a bit.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! The quesadillas fell apart and the filling was dry and tasteless. I won't be trying this recipe again.

These quesadillas were just okay. The filling was a bit bland and the tortillas were a bit too chewy. I wouldn't make these again.
