Shred meat using 2 forks, stirring in some of the cooking liquid.

TORTILLAS:
Using an empty tuna can, with the ends removed, cut 3 circles from each 8" flour tortilla or use mini tortillas made from tortilla recipes in this book. Heat a Dutch oven lid or 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the entire lid or bottom of the skillet, then place 4 tortilla rounds on the lid and place 1 Tbs. cheese in the center of each tortilla, then top with 1 Tbs. pork mixture and 1/2 tsp. diced green chile. Top the cheese, pork, and chile with a second tortilla and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until cheese is lightly melted and tortilla is crispy and lightly browned. Flip over each quesadilla and cook on second side an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Continue cooking all quesadillas until all the tortillas and, or pork and cheese is used up.
