Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or American cheese

Optional Toppings and Serving

  • Pickles, sliced
  • Diced onions
  • Burger sauce or preferred dipping sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat to ensure it is hot enough to sear the beef and crisp the tortillas properly.
  2. Prepare the Beef on Tortilla: Take a small handful of ground beef and press it directly onto one half of each tortilla, forming a thin layer. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the beef’s flavor.
  3. Cook the Beef Side: Place the beef-covered side of the tortilla down on the hot skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes until the beef is browned and cooked through, forming a crispy crust.
  4. Add Cheese and Fold: Flip the tortilla over, sprinkle the exposed side with shredded cheese, then fold the tortilla in half over the beef side, creating a half-moon shape.
  5. Grill Both Sides: Continue grilling the folded quesadilla on both sides until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted perfectly.
  6. Slice and Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm with optional pickles, diced onions, and your favorite burger sauce or dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Use a spatula or heavy press to ensure the beef stays flat and cooks evenly on the tortilla.
  • Feel free to swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or corn tortillas for a different flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference; adding a pinch of smoked paprika can add a smoky dimension.
  • For a cheesier quesadilla, mix cheddar and American cheese or add some mozzarella for extra meltiness.
  • These quesadillas are best served immediately to enjoy the crispy exterior and warm melty interior.
