Barbacoa Quesadillas
These Barbacoa Quesadillas start with rich, slow-cooked chuck roast or brisket, seasoned with Spanglish Asadero Barbacoa Seasoning and simmered low and slow with warm spices like cloves, allspice, and cumin until fall-apart tender. The shredded barbacoa gets tucked into flour tortillas with melty mozzarella, then griddled until golden and crispy on the outside. Topped with fresh cilantro, onion, and salsa, every bite delivers deep, savory flavor with satisfying crunch.
Perfect for taco night, game day, or whenever you're craving something hearty and packed with authentic flavor.
