BBQ Beef Short Rib Quesadillas

OK, these will definitely knock your socks off! If you know me and followed my show Quick Fix Meals on Food Network, you know I love to "morph" leftovers into sensational new meals! So, for this amazing recipe, I made quesadillas with leftover shredded meat from my Hoisin Glazed Beef Short Ribs and added a Mexican cheese blend. That's IT for the filling! The grill pan did the rest. These are packed with flavor from the ribs and gooey from cheese. They are intensely good, I promise.

BBQ Beef Short Rib Quesadillas

Cooking spray
8 fajita-size flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
2 cups shredded leftover beef short ribs (from my Hoisin Glazed Short Ribs), or any shredded barbecued beef
Salsa or picante sauce for serving

Coat a stovetop grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.
Arrange the tortillas on a flat surface. Top one half of each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Top the cheese with 1/4 cup of the shredded beef and then 2 more tablespoons of the cheese (having cheese on both sides will keep the quesadilla together - it acts as a glue).
Fold the tortillas over the filling, creating half moon-shaped quesadillas. Add the quesadillas to the hot pan and cook until you have grill marks on both sides and the cheese melts, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Half each quesadilla and serve with salsa or picante sauce.
