Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese

Optional Toppings

  • Pickles, sliced
  • Diced onions
  • Burger sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat skillet or griddle: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat to prepare for cooking the quesadillas.
  2. Season and press beef: Take a small handful of ground beef and press it directly onto one half of each tortilla, creating a thin layer of meat. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook beef side down: Place the tortillas beef side down on the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the beef is well browned.
  4. Flip and add cheese: Flip each tortilla over carefully. Immediately sprinkle shredded cheddar or American cheese on the cooked beef side.
  5. Fold and grill: Fold each tortilla in half over the cheese and continue cooking both sides until the exterior is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is fully melted.
  6. Slice and serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm with your choice of pickles, diced onions, and burger sauce for dipping or topping.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease during cooking.
  • For a crispier quesadilla, press it gently with a spatula while cooking each side.
  • Customize toppings with your favorite burger condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
  • Cooking time may vary depending on skillet heat; monitor closely to avoid burning.
  • Flour tortillas can be substituted with whole wheat for a healthier option.
