Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef
- 1 lb ground beef
Cheddar Cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Flour Tortillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
Onion
- 1 medium onion, diced
Pickles
- 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
Ketchup and Mustard
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you prefer.
- Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, add diced onion and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay a tortilla flat, sprinkle half with cheddar cheese, add a layer of the cooked beef, sautéed onions, and pickles, then top with more cheese before folding the tortilla in half.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Slice and Serve: Remove from the skillet, let it cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve with ketchup and mustard on the side.
Notes
- Don’t Overstuff: While it’s tempting to add more filling, overstuffing can make it hard to cook evenly.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and quality cheese will elevate the overall flavor of your quesadilla.
- Keep it Crispy: Make sure your skillet is hot enough to achieve that perfect crispy texture.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to add garlic powder, paprika, or even taco seasoning for additional flavor.
- Let it Rest: Allow your quesadilla to rest for a minute before cutting, which helps the cheese set slightly.
