Directions
1
Season roast all over with salt and pepper.
2
Heat oil in a skillet, Dutch oven or slow cooker insert and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
3
Add sliced onion, broth and BBQ sauce.
4
Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours (or in a Dutch oven at 300°F for about 3–4 hours), until the meat shreds easily with a fork.
5
Shred the venison and toss it in a little of the cooking liquid. Set aside.
6
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
7
Add a bit of oil, then the sliced red pepper and onion. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Push to the side of the griddle or remove from the pan.
8
Add a tortilla to the griddle and warm for 15–20 seconds per side.
9
On one half of the tortilla, layer cheese, sautéed peppers and onions, shredded venison, and a drizzle of BBQ sauce.
10
Fold the tortilla in half to close.
11
Cook each quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
12
Slice into wedges and serve immediately with ranch for dipping if desired.
