Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Pickles, sliced (optional)
- Lettuce and tomato, for serving (optional)
- Sour cream or ketchup for dipping
Instructions:
- Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the beef: Stir in the ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Lay out a tortilla and sprinkle half of it with a layer of shredded cheese. Spoon a portion of the seasoned beef mixture over the cheese, adding pickles if desired. Top with another layer of cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with lettuce, tomato, and dipping sauces like sour cream, ketchup, or even a burger-style sauce.
These Cheeseburger Quesadillas combine the best of both worlds, offering a cheesy, savory meal that’s fun and easy to make!
