I am often stumped on what to do with leftover meat and I hate throwing out food! Sunday I cooked a big ole dinner for the hubbys birthday which included a huge roasted pork loin. Needless to say we had some leftover pork, so what to do with it… well I checked out what else I had in the fridge that I could try to use up.
Heres what I came up with and it was a HUGE hit with the hubs! Its simple, incredibly fast to throw together and pretty darn inexpensive too! This is a great recipe to use up some leftover meat… roasted chicken or turkey would be perfect too!
Ingredients
approx 1 1/2 – 2 cups roast pork, diced
6 corn tortillas
shredded cheddar cheese
BBQ sauce ( I used Sweet Baby Rays Original)
2 small onions, sliced
cilantro, to garnish
Preparation
1. Oven at 500 degrees with a pizza stone. If you don’t have a pizza stone, no worries, simply bake on a baking sheet.
2. With your diced meat in a bowl, pour in enough BBQ sauce to just coat. Set it aside.
3. In a small sauté pan, over medium heat, add about a Tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onions until softened and slightly browned.
4. Now to assemble. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the tortillas down. Divide the BBQ pork between the 6 tortillas. Next the onions and finally a good sprinkling of cheddar. You can add a little more BBQ sauce over top if you’d like too!
5. Bake for approx 6-8 minutes, until the tortilla is crisped up and the cheese is good and melted. Garnish with a bit of yummy cilantro and dig in!
6. I served a salad alongside. It was super simple… a can or corn (liquid drained), half a can of black beans (rinsed and drained), half a red bell pepper, one cucumber and then dressed simply with lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and cilantro. YUM!!
