Instructions

1. ---MOJO-STYLE PULLED PORK---
2. In a blender, add orange juice, lime juice, garlic, onion, oil, soy sauce, oregano, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
3. Place pork in 2 gallon resealable bag (or equivalent storable container). Pour all of marinade in bag, then carefully shake bag to coat pork. Slowly press all air out of bag then seal and marinate overnight.
4. After pork has marinated overnight, remove from bag and use a paper towel to pat dry. Cut pork into quartered cubes and set aside. Reserve marinade and set aside.
5. Melt butter in large enough pan to sear pork, over medium-high heat. If needed, divide butter and pork between two pans. Sear pork for 3-5 mins per side (sear on all sides, not just two largest).
6. Transfer seared pork quarters to Instant Pot. Pour all of marinade over pork. Close and seal Instant Pot. Pressure cook on high for 15 mins per pound (i.e., a 5 lb roast will require 75 mins of pressure cooking). Once done cooking, let Instant Pot natural release for at least 30 mins.
7. Remove lid from Instant Pot then transfer pork to a shallow baking dish or bowl. Shred pork completely. Salt to taste. Add juice of 2 oranges and 1 lime. Toss until well-integrated. Set aside.
8. ---CUBANO QUESADILLA---
9. To build 1 quesadilla: Only working on one half of a single tortilla, top it with a layer of Swiss cheese, a layer of Chihuahua cheese, mustard, ham, pulled pork, pickle chips, another layer of Swiss, another layer of Chihuahua, then more mustard. Do not fold tortilla shut yet.
10. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in large pan over medium heat. Carefully transfer open tortilla to pan. Rotate tortilla a few times to evenly spread butter underneath it. Pull the untopped half of the tortilla up over the topped half to close the tortilla.
11. Brown for 3-5 mins, or until golden brown underneath. Carefully flip quesadilla and brown the other side, another 3-5 mins. Throughout the entire cooking process, be sure to lightly press the filling into the tortilla to ensure it doesn’t spill out.
12. Remove quesadilla from pan then slice into thirds and serve.
13. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Enjoy!
