With school back in session, sports and after school clubs in full swing, and work ramping up… Fall is a busy time of the year. I have less and less time to cook due to work and school obligations, but my family still wants to eat every night. So, what’s a mom to do?

Break out the handy dandy slow cooker! That’s what! Fall is the perfect time of the year for slow cooker dinners. In my hunt for a new go to meal, I decided to change up an old favorite. As you may know, I loveMexican food. Tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas… You name it, I will eat it!

So creating a unique Mexican inspired slow cooker dish seemed to be a no brainer! I wanted it simple enough that my whole family would love it, but just different enough to take the tastes to a new level. And thus, the marinated pulled pork quesadilla was born.

How to Cook Pulled Pork Quesadillas in the Slow Cooker

Once you have all of your ingredients, you are ready to go! Get your slow cooker out and get ready to fill your kitchen with the most delicious smells that are about to waft out while your dinner is slowly cooking.

Place the pork in your slow cooker along with sliced green pepper and red onion. Set your slow cooker to low and let it do its magic for about 5-6 hours or until the pork is fork tender. There is no need to add in any extra seasoning or water. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned and needs no additives.

Once your pork and veggies are cooked and your kitchen smells so good that you are literally salivating, you can assemble your quesadillas.  Heat a pan with a little butter over medium heat.

Place one soft tortilla in the pan, top with the pork and veggies and some shredded cheese. Top with another tortilla and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Now all that is left to do is serve it up with some sour cream and cilantro! Seriously, it is that easy! Don’t let the ease fool you though, these slow cooker pulled pork quesadillas are packed with flavor and are highly likely to become your next weeknight favorite!
