Pork Quesadillas with Fresh Salsa

I threw this together one night when I was in the mood for quesadillas but didn't feel like going out. The homemade salsa is so fresh and wonderful, you'll absolutely want to double the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 each small green, sweet red and orange peppers, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 3/4 pound thinly sliced cooked pork (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • dash pepper
  • 4 flour tortillas (10 inches)
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onion; cook 4-5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in pork, salt and pepper; heat through. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine salsa ingredients.
  2. Place tortillas on a griddle. Layer half of each tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese, 1 cup pork mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese; fold other half over filling.
  3. Cook over medium heat 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa.
