For me, winter is the time that I most enjoy comfort food. That doesn’t mean what’s comforting has to be unhealthy though. These nutritious Pork and Mushroom Quesadillas were a big hit with the whole family.
Ingredients:
12 ounces pork cutlets, pounded 1/4-inch thick
1/4 cup olive oil with garlic, OR olive oil, divided
salt , to taste
6 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup green onions, sliced
8 ounces shredded cheese
4 large flour tortillas, (9-to 10-inch)
Stack cutlets and cut crosswise in half, then cut each stack lengthwise into bite sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat; stir-fry pork for 2 minutes or until no longer pink.

Remove pork from skillet with slotted spoon. Season to taste with salt. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add mushrooms and onions to skillet; stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until crisp-tender.

Remove from skillet. Wipe skillet with paper towels. To assemble, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over half of each tortilla. Top each with pork and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of remaining cheese.

Fold tortillas in half; pressing gently. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Cook quesadillas, 2 at a time, over medium heat for 2-4 minutes or until golden and cheese is melted, turning once.

Remove quesadillas from skillet; loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and quesadillas. Cut quesadillas into wedges to serve. Serves 4.

If you’d like to try the above recipe for yourself, now is the time. From now until February 22, pork sirloin cutlets will be on special at Publix!

This recipe looks incredible! I wanted to try it, but had to change some ingredients since the man of the house does not like mushrooms.
So, essentially I made pork fajitas (but they were DELICIOUS)!
