Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potato a few times with a fork and microwave until soft, 7 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the skin and mash the flesh with a fork; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork, chile powder and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, sweet potato and scallions and cook, stirring, 2 more minutes. Add the cilantro and season with salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
• Wipe out the skillet; add 1/2 tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add a tortilla, spread one-quarter of the pork mixture on one half and top with 1/2 cup cheese. Fold the tortilla over the filling and cook until the quesadilla is golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat to make 3 more quesadillas. Cut into wedges and serve with pickled jalapenos and sour cream, if desired.

• Heat grill to high; oil grates. Place pork on hottest part of grill; cover. Cook, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 155 degrees. 10 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain.

• Lightly oil grates. Place quesadillas on grill; cover. Cook, turning once, until browned in spots and cheese has melted, about 4 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. To make sweet pulled pork, place most of the onion on the bottom of the crock pot, add pork roast, then montreal steak seasoning, lime juice, and rest of onion slices. Cook in crock pot until pork falls apart easily with fork. Add sugar, and "shred" (pull apart with fork.) You can adjust seasonings by adding, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and smoke flavor, but once when I was in a super rush, I did just the ingredients listed in the recipe, and it turned out plenty tasty. I free-handed the Montreal steak seasoning...you can always go light and add more once it is cooked, to taste. (Now that I've measured a few times 2 -2 1/2 Tbsp. seems right.)
• 2. To make quesadillas, in large skillet, cover a whole tortilla with shredded cheddar. Then layer over half the tortilla the sweet pork, black beans, & quinoa/rice. Heat over medium heat until bottom of tortilla is nicely brown and crispy and cheese is well melted.
• 3. Add dollops of the yogurt like you would sour cream, then sprinkle with shredded cabbage. Fold tortillas in half. Done!
• 4. The pork meat is great filling also for tamales or in enchiladas, or simply with chips and other Mexican style toppings. But my favorite is the quesadillas! If I have roasted pumpkin (or squash) and onions on hand, I add them to my quesadillas.
• 5. * when cooking the quinoa, dry toast it first in a skillet or pot, until it starts to pop and smell like popcorn, before cooking with water like normal. This makes ALL the difference in the flavor.
