Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Smithfield Steakhouse Mushroom Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet

- Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Saute the sliced pork filet in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Saute each batch for 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown all over. If using chicken or beef, season the meat with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of paprika.
- Remove the pork from the pan into a large bowl and set aside. Into the same pan, add the mushrooms and season them with a pinch of salt; add more olive oil if needed. Saute the mushrooms for a few minutes, then add the shallots and peppers. Continue to saute for a few more minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- To assemble the quesadillas, first spread each flour tortilla with a tablespoon of sour cream, then top with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. Onto one half, add a generous amount of the prepared pork and pepper-mushroom mixture. Drizzle with a tablespoon of your favorite steak sauce. Fold the quesadillas in half and stack until ready to heat.
- Heat the quesadillas in a preheated frying pan with a bit of olive oil, or on a grill pan or open-flame outdoor grill. Heat for a few minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted. Serve warm with tomato salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.
