Ingredients
  

For the Quesadillas
  • 1 lb ground beef Choose 80/20 or 85/15 for best results.
  • 4 large flour tortillas 10–12 inch for proper folding.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese Blend for best flavor and melt.
  • Salt To taste.
  • Black pepper To taste.
  • Garlic powder To taste.
Optional Toppings
  • pickles For serving.
  • diced onions For serving.
  • burger sauce For serving.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until very hot.
  2. Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook beef side down for 2–3 minutes until browned and edges crisp.
  4. Flip the tortilla so the cooked beef faces up. Sprinkle cheese over the beef, fold the tortilla in half, and grill on both sides until crispy and cheese is melted.
  5. Slice and serve with your favorite burger toppings.

Notes

Store cooked quesadillas in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for crispness.
