Description
Delicious BBQ Rib Quesadillas filled with juicy shredded beef and melted cheese, served with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked beef ribs, shredded
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Prepare the Rib Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded beef ribs with barbecue sauce until evenly coated. The sauce adds sweetness, smokiness, and keeps the meat juicy inside the quesadillas.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. A buttery skillet helps create that perfectly crisp golden tortilla exterior.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat and sprinkle half with cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Add a generous layer of the barbecue rib mixture, followed by chopped red onion and cilantro. Top with a little extra cheese before folding the tortilla in half. The melted cheese acts like glue, holding all the smoky filling together in every bite.
- Cook Until Golden: Place the quesadilla into the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The cheese should be fully melted and the tortillas beautifully toasted.
- Slice and Serve: Transfer the BBQ Rib Quesadillas to a cutting board and let them rest for one minute before slicing. Serve warm with extra barbecue sauce, sour cream, or fresh salsa. The crispy edges, smoky filling, and gooey cheese make these impossible to stop eating.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of barbecue sauce based on your taste preference.
