Pork Quesadillas Recipe
- 1 large clove garlic
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grates
- 1 (3/4 pound) pork tenderloin
- 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 4 (10-inch or burrito-size) flour tortillas
- 4 tablespoons spicy brown mustard, plus more for serving
- 6 ounces thinly sliced baked ham
- 3 dill pickles, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 8 ounces provolone or Swiss cheese, coarsely shredded
- Use garlic and salt to make a paste. In a small bowl, combine with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the oil. Rub all over pork.
- Heat grill to high; oil grates. Place pork on hottest part of grill; cover. Cook, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 155 degrees, 10 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain.
- Meanwhile, place onion slices on cooler part of grill; cover. Cook, turning once, until soft and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce grill to medium-low.
- Spread 1 tablespoon mustard on each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Dividing evenly, layer half of each tortilla with ham, pork, onion, pickles, and cheese. Fold tortillas; press to close.
- Lightly oil grates. Place quesadillas on grill; cover. Cook, turning once, until browned in spots and cheese has melted, about 4 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve immediately.
