These quesadillas featuring leftover pulled pork, onions and cheese topped with sour cream, coriander, tomatoes and avocado are super delicious, yet so easy to make. The trick is having everything prepared and ready to go because once they hit the hot plate they are ready in minutes.
Leftover pulled pork from last night’s dinner becomes the ultimate indulgent camping breakfast – cheesy quesadillas with a zingy tomato salsa and smashed avocado.
