I've started this blog because I'm obsessed with food. I wanted to create a fun blog for others who like to cook. My blog will be full of great recipes. I love just throwing ingredients together and coming up with tasty new recipes...So if I refer to a chunck of cheese or a handfull of tomatoes get use to it. I will be posting video recipes as well so you can cook with me - just tune in.



Layered Quesadilla Pie

I made this awesome recipe this weekend while I was stuck at home because of the snow. I saw a similar recipe but decided just to make it my own with whatever I had in the house.

I had a small pork butt from trader joes I bought which I thought would be perfect for this dish. I seasoned the pork with salt and pepper and seared all sides in a frying pan with olive oil. I then added a dry rub of chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin. I Put the pork in the crock pot and added a can of chicken broth,and a bottle of bbq sauce, and 2 sliced sweet onions (I would have added to the crock-pot chipotle peppers in adobe sauce,a bottle of salsa, and a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies instead if I had them in the house(note for next time)Cooked on high for about 7 hours. I took the pork out of the crock pot and cooled it until I could shred the meat.

In a 15 X 10 baking dish I buttered the bottom and added 3 habenero lime tortillas (trader joes)I then sprinkled the tortillas with shredded montery jack cheese and topped the cheese with a mixture of black beans, canned yellow corn, and 1/2 block of cream cheese mixed with a packet of powdered hidden valley ranch dressing - and spread all ingredients over the tortillas.

2nd Layer
I layered 3 more tortillas over the black bean mixture - added more shredded mexican cheese on top of tortillas and then I sauted baby portebella mushrooms and 2 sliced zucchini's in a pan with a little olive oil and adash of chili powder and cumin.Topped the cheese with the mushroom and zucchini mixture.

3rd Layer
I layed 3 more tortillas on top of the mushroom and zucchini mixture added more shredded mexican cheese on top of tortillas and then added the shredded pork mixed with a little of the sauce from the crockpot with the onions and added a can of diced chilies and some diced pickled jalapeno peppers. Then topped the pork with a little more cheese and 2 tortillas on top. Bake covered on 350 for 30 minutes - remove foil and bake at 400 for another 15 minutes, let cool for 10 minutes.

Cut into squares - and serve with salsa, avocados, and sour cream on the side.

You can layer with any veggies or other meat you may have in the house make it your own...yum!

  1. This sounds super good!! Can't wait to try it! Anything I can pre-cook in the crock pot while at work is a lifesaver! I'll try it with chicken : ) Thanks for the great recipe!
