Carnitas Redo: Quesadillas al Pastor

I made carnitas the other day and, oddly, had some left over.  I didn't want to have the exact same meal again, so I decided quesadillas would be a great way to reshape that dinner.  It was fast. It was easy.  It was delicious!


Here's what you'll need:
8 taco-sized flour tortillas
about 2 cups shredded carnitas, or roast pork
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (mine was smoked)
1 c diced pineapple (I used fresh)


Divide meat among 4 of the tortillas.


Top with the pineapple.


Sprinkle cheese evenly over the top.


Transfer to a preheated griddle.  Top with remaining 4 tortillas.


Cook 2-3 minutes over medium heat, until the tortilla begins to brown.  Turn.


Cook another 3-4 minutes, until browned and the cheese is melted.


Cut into wedges.  Serve with sour cream and salsa.


Enjoy!
