This Shredded Beef Quesadillas recipe is made using a Crock Pot Shredded Beef recipe I made over the weekend, but you can use any shredded beef you might have on hand.

I love Mexican food and eat Quesadillas all the time. I eat chicken Quesadillas at least every other week and for a quick snack I will make an easy cheese Quesadilla in the microwave.

On Sunday, I picked up a very nice bottom round roast on sale and decided I was going to cook it in the crock pot with some homemade mojo marinade.

And although I think Quesadillas are a traditional Mexican food the mojo marinade is a traditional Cuban marinade that I love to use when cooking pulled pork or beef in the crock pot.

If you have ever tried the bottled mojo marinade available in the grocery store and decided it wasn't for you then you should try the homemade mojo recipe before you give up on mojo altogether.

The store-bought mojo marinade tastes nothing like homemade mojo marinade.
