Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup American Cheese
- 4 Flour Tortillas
- Mayonnaise (to taste)
- Ketchup (to taste)
- Mustard (to taste)
- 1 Onion (chopped)
- Dill Pickles (sliced)
- Oil (for cooking)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add your ground beef. Season with salt and pepper, then smash down the beef with a spatula to create thin patties. Cook until browned and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and toss in the chopped onions. Cook them until they are translucent and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- On one half of a tortilla, layer some cheese, a beef patty, sautéed onions, pickles, and a drizzle of your preferred condiments. Top with more cheese and fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
- Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium heat. Add a small amount of oil and carefully place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with extra condiments on the side.
