Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onions. Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch pieces (whole onion for 4 ppl).Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
Add tomatoes, green onions, half the peppers, half the lime juice and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Add sour cream, lime zest, remaining lime juice and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then pork, onions and remaining peppers. Cook, breaking up pork into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add Mexican Seasoning to pork. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Remove the pan from heat, then transfer pork mixture to a large bowl. Add cheese and season with pepper. Stir until combined.
Carefully rinse and wipe the pan clean. Arrange tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon pork filling evenly over one side of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to enclose filling. Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then 3 quesadillas. Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
Cut quesadillas into wedges. Divide quesadillas between plates. Serve lime crema and salsa alongside. Squeeze a lime wedge over top, if desired.
