It’s the final week of my Good and Good For You Challenge and pork and me…we’re like this.
Have you been following along with my adventures in pork? I’ve tried three great new recipes so far during this healthy cooking challenge through Publix and the Pork Board:
Pork Tenderloin With Lemon Garlic Sauce
Pork Roast With Sweet Potatoes and Granny Smith Apples
This week’s lean cut of pork on sale at Publix is Pork Sirloin Cutlets and I made Pork and Mushroom Quesadillas to go with the theme of Healthy Comfort Food Dinners. Yes comfort food CAN be healthy! Woot! We had leftover mushrooms from pizza night on hand, as well as flour tortillas, and my entire family loves Tex/Mex food so I knew this would be a hit! I used Gruyere cheese and the flavor was amazing. This is definitely a keeper recipe!
Check it out…(and scroll down for a giveaway).
Pork And Mushroom Quesadillas
Ingredients
12 ounces pork cutlets, pounded 1/4-inch thick (I bought thin ones, not pounding required)
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 Swiss cheese, OR Gruyere cheese, shredded (2 cups)
4 large flour tortillas, (9-to 10-inch)

Remove pork from skillet with slotted spoon.
Season to taste with salt.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to 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.
