Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 fat ratio for juicy flavor
  • 4 large flour tortillas burrito-size
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or American cheese blend
  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder to season beef
  • Optional toppings pickles, diced onions, burger sauce

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
    Press the ground beef thinly on one half of each tortilla. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    Cook the beef side down for 2-3 minutes until crispy.
    Flip the tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, fold over, and cook both sides until golden and melty.
    Let quesadillas rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite toppings or dips.

Notes

Brush tortillas with a thin layer of mayo for extra crispness. Use cast iron skillet for best results. Resting quesadillas prevents cheese from oozing out.
