Shredded Beef Quesadillas Recipe

Shredded Beef Quesadillas Recipe

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.

• 1 cup shredded beef- I used my Crock Pot Shredded Beef recipe
• 1 tablespoon diced pickled jalapenos
• 1 cup shredded cheddar, Mexican Blend or Pepper Jack Cheese
• ¼ cup of sour cream + more for serving
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 6 flour taco size tortillas
• salsa

1. Make the Crock Pot Shredded Beef recipe if you would like.
2. Mix 1 cup of the shredded beef with the jalapenos, the cheese and ¼ cup sour cream.
3. Spread ¼ cup of the mixture over each tortilla in an even layer.
4. Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in a skillet.
5. Place filled tortilla down into the hot skillet. Cook about 1 minute and fold in half. Cook until heated and cheese is melted, flipping as needed.
6. Cut into thirds to serve.
7. Serve with sour cream, salsa or homemade tomatillo salsa.
