Main Ingredients

  • to taste pepper
  • to taste garlic powder to season
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese

Preparation

  • Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cooking

  • Place the tortillas beef-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the beef browns.
  • Flip the tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and fold it in half.
  • Grill both sides until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted, about another 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve with your favorite burger toppings or dipping sauce.

Notes

If you have leftovers, allow the quesadillas to cool, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Heat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
