Have leftover pulled pork – make this delicious Pulled Pork Torta – just a few ingredients and you have dinner on the table in no time!
Disclosure: This recipe originally appeared on Cooking In Stilettos in February of 2011. The recipe has been updated with new photos and any recipe changes that I have incorporated over the years.
Remember that pulled pork with caramelized onions that I wrote about a bit ago? Well, this is the “Round II” version that goes with – a Pulled Pork Torta that is packed with flavor!
Whenever I make pulled pork, I always joke that there are leftovers for days and when I’m looking for something creative to incorporate them in, sometimes I draw a blank. There is something so inspiring about making something from leftovers that you don’t always (and great for the wallet). Thankfully, this recipe makes use of ingredients most of us already have on hand and takes almost no time to make.
While the original recipe called for chorizo, I decided to leave it out and it still was fabulous. If you decide to add chorizo, feel free – it will be a welcome addition. Hot from the oven, the pulled pork and fire roasted tomatoes are bubbling and molten in between the flour tortillas and add to that lots of gooey Monterey Jack cheese, this is one of those tried and true recipes that looks way more difficult than it really is.
This Pulled Pork Torta will be a family favorite. Serve with an easy side salad and you have a winning dinner that will have everyone singing your praises!
