Have you figured out by now we are pork people? I know I have gone over my love of pulled pork many times. I love how easy and versatile it is.
What I love even more is playing with the leftovers. I have turned them in enchiladas, Brunswick stew, even enchiladas in a delightful creamy cheese sauce. All of which are delicious.
But sometimes you just don’t want the hassle of a bunch of dishes, yet you are just not in the mood for another pulled pork sandwich. What’s a person to do?

I have the solution. It just takes one skillet, a few pantry ingredients and some leftover pulled pork.
It combines some Tex-Mex Flavors with BBQ for another Mexi-Q dish that is sure to be a hit! The best part is that it comes together quickly and the cleanup is just as quick!
The only thing I love more than a good pulled pork recipe is a quick and easy dinner recipe. You know, the kind that you can start when you get home from work and still have dinner on the table before your family chases you down like a pack of hungry wolves! This is definitely one of those.
Other than a little chopping and stirring, there is very little effort required. When you put that skillet full of goodness down on the table and they smell the BBQ and see the golden melty cheese, everyone’s appetites will be ready to scarf it down!

What are your favorite weeknight meals? Do you have fun ways to use pulled pork leftovers?
Whipping up this skillet supper recipe
Luckily this dinner is super simple to make. Other than a cutting board, there is just one pot to clean. It doesn’t get much better than that!

You start by sautéing some sweet or bell pepper along with an onion. If you like some spice, you could add a diced jalapeno in with them.

Then add the pulled pork and rice. Cook until the rice starts to toast a bit, it should just take 4-5 minutes. After adding water, bring the mixture to a boil and then let it summer until the rice is almost cooked.
If you have a cover for your pan, use it. If you don’t have a lid, don’t despair. Just keep an eye on it and add a little more water if it is needed.

Once the rice is cooked to al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed, add the remaining ingredients. Cook it for a few more minutes so that everything has a chance to cook through.
Next add the cheese on top. If your pan is broiler safe, but it under the broiler for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
If you can’t put the pan under the broiler, just let it melt over the heat of the rest of the meal. Top with chopped cilantro, chives, green onions or your favorite herbs if desired.

It is also great with chopped tomatoes and jalapeno slices. Really any of your favorite toppings would be good!
What do I do if I don’t have leftover pulled pork?
You can buy tubs of pulled pork at most grocery stores. Or cook a pork shoulder and pull it just for the leftovers!
Of course you can also use leftover chicken. Either some grilled chicken, or just cook up some chicken breasts in the instant pot if you’d like. Then chop or pull them and toss them in this recipe instead of using pork.
In short, do whatever you need to do to get this dinner on the table! It is a flavorful meal that is sure to get gobbled up.

Well after reading all the reviews, didnt seem like anyone actually made it! I did for dinner tonight. I had to add about 1.5 extra cup of water while the rice cooked as I live in high altitude. I added cumin and Knorr chicken bullion powder to the rice to cook. Everything else the same, well maybe some extra cheese. Family ate it up with corn tortillas. Winner! Winner! Winner! My boys inhaled it and hubby liked it too! Thank you for this recipe.
