Quesadillas al Pastor

[heart_this] · May 13, 2014 · 8 Comments

Quesadillas al Pastor with Pineapple Salsa and Pineapple Guacamole

Quesadillas al pastor with pineapple, smoky chipotle pineapple salsa and plenty of melted cheese.

When I made the tacos al pastor the other week I made a double batch to ensure leftovers for use in quesadillas! The tacos al pastor taste great when filled with fresh ingredients like pineapple, onions and cilantro so they can only get better in quesadilla form with plenty of ooey gooey melted cheese! These quesadillas al pastor are filled with the al pastor pork, pineapple pieces, pineapple salsa, diced onions, cilantro and of course lots and lots of cheese before they are grilled until the cheese has melted and the tortillas a crispy and golden brown. Even if you do not make the tacos al pastor it’s definitely well worth making the al pastor pork for these tasty quesadillas!

I like to serve these quesadillas al pastor with extra pineapple salsa and a simple pineapple guacamole for dipping or topping. They are a little messy when served like this but oh so good!
