These quesadillas are a real crowd pleaser. Make a few for your friends to nosh on at your game day party while they're pulling for their favorite team or give your family something to cheer about any night of the week when our Quesadillas Al Pastor are on the dinner menu. Each quesadilla is packed with a combination of pineapple, cilantro, red onion, shredded smoked pork, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. As if that wasn't enough flavor, we're also mixing up a pineapple and avocado relish to serve on top. We cook the quesadillas in a large nonstick skillet along with 2 tablespoons of butter to give them a nice crunchy exterior. Inside, melted cheese, savory pork, and a sweet bite of red onion, pineapple, and cilantro combine to create a taste-bud-pleasing weeknight masterpiece that your family will be asking for time and again.
