Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Quesadillas – An Easy, Flavor-Packed Meal
Ingredients:
- 3 lb pork shoulder
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- ¼ cup brown sugar OR coconut sugar
- 3 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 TBS molasses
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp dry mustard
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 TBS worchestire sauce
- ¼ cup chicken broth
For the Quesadillas:
- Tortillas
- Pickles
- Shredded cheese
- Chopped red onion
- Tomatoes
- BBQ sauce
Directions:
- Trim your pork shoulder – cut off excess fat. This is totally up to you on how much you want to leave. Cut the pork shoulder into four pieces.
- Mix together all of your seasoning ingredients.
- Chop onion and garlic and add to the bottom of your crockpot. Add apple cider vinegar, chicken broth and worcestershire sauce. Place 4 pieces of the pork shoulder on top.
- Cover each piece of pork generously with seasoning. Put on the lid, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Once meat is cooked, you can shred it using two forks or your mixer. I prefer my mixer- I place all four pieces in my mixing bowl and use my flat beater on speed 2 for 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble tortillas with desired toppings- you can get creative here! Coleslaw is aldo delish on these! Enjoy!
