Ingredients

Directions

Line your slow cooker with a Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner for easy cleanup.

Add the marinade ingredients into the lined slow cooker, this includes the ½ cup of orange juice, juice of 2 limes, 8 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1tsp cumin, 1 tsp black pepper, 1 cup sliced onions, 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 bay leaf.

In a skillet, brown a 4 lb bone in pork butt on all sides to develop flavor.

Generously season the browned pork butt with Sazón and Adobo.

Place the seasoned pork into the slow cooker with the marinade and Cook on HIGH for 5 hours, or until fall apart tender.

Next, shred the pork. Once cooked, remove the pork, shred it, and set aside. Keep the flavorful mojo liquid for dipping later.

Next you will assemble the Sheet Pan Quesadilla. Line a large sheet pan with Reynolds Kitchens® Parchment Paper with Stay Flat Dispensing.

Arrange burrito size flour tortillas on the sheet pan, letting the outer tortillas hang halfway over the edges (this allows you to fold everything in later.)

Layer the Fillings (in this order): 

  • Shredded Swiss and Monterey Jack cheese 
  • Sweet ham slices 
  • Salami 
  • Yellow mustard (drizzled across the meats) 
  • Shredded mojo pork 
  • Dill pickles 
  • Another layer of cheese (Total cheese used: about 24 ounces)

Top with extra tortillas, placing 2 more tortillas in the center to cover any gaps.

Fold the tortillas in. Fold the overhanging tortillas toward the center to seal the quesadilla.

Next, press the quesadilla. Cover the folded quesadilla with another sheet of Reynolds Kitchens® Parchment Paper with Stay Flat Dispensing, then place a second sheet pan on top to press it.

Bake the sheet pan covered. With the top sheet pan still in place, baking at 420°F for 15 minutes.

Next, bake uncovered. Remove the top sheet pan and parchment. Bake an additional 7 minutes, or until the quesadilla is golden and crisp

Cut into squares and serve with the reserved mojo liquid from the slow cooker for dipping

Enjoy! Wrap leftovers in Reynolds Wrap® Everyday Foil.
