Pork and Rice Quesadillas With Orange Salsa

Cooking Spray
6 burrito size tortillas

Filling:
1 cup rice, cooked (can use minute rice)
2 cups diced or shredded roasted pork loin
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed
1 cup chopped arugula leaves (i leave out)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
1/2 diced sun-dried tomatoes (i use fresh)


Orange Salsa:
1 11 oz can Mandarin Oranges, drained and chopped
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
2 Tbsp freshly chopped scallions
2 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and toss to combine
(This salsa is so good I usually double it)

For the quesadilla:
Coat a griddle with cooking spray and set on medium high heat. Combine rice, pork, beans, arugula, cheese and tomatoes, mix well. Arrange tortillas on a flat surface. Top one side with pork mixture. Fold the other side over to cover filling. Cook 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Serve with Orange Salsa, of course!!
