Pork Quesadillas with Ancho-Mango Sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 poblano pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheese, such as white cheddar, pepper Jack, or queso blanco
- 1216 ounces Jalapeno-roast Pork (p. 269) or other cooked pork, shredded (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 16 flour tortillas
- Olive oil or butter, for frying
- 1 ripe Hass avocado, diced and seasoned with salt and lime juice, optional
- 1 cup chopped cilantro, optional
- 1 small dried ancho chile
- 1 ripe mango, peeled, seeded, and diced
- Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 bunch cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
- Pinch of salt
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, then add the onion and poblano.
- Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are wilted, 23 minutes.
- Remove from heat and cool.
- Place some of the cheese, onion-pepper mixture, and pork on each tortilla and fold over into a half-circle.
- Heat a little oil or butter in a medium skillet, add one or two quesadillas, and brown on both sides.
- You may want to cover the cooked quesadillas with foil and keep them in a warm oven while you finish cooking the others.
- To serve, drizzle Ancho-Mango Sauce around the quesadillas (or serve it in ramekins on the side) and garnish with avocado and cilantro.
- Heat the ancho chile in a small, dry skillet over medium-high heat for a minute or two on each side, until puffed and fragrant.
- Place it in a small bowl of hot water for 5 minutes, then remove the stem and seeds, and tear or cut the chile into pieces.
- Place the chile and all the remaining ingredients in a blender and puree.
- If necessary, add a little water to make a smooth puree.
- Taste, and adjust the flavor with a little more lime or honey if you like.
