Smashburger Quesadillas: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

– 1 lb ground beef
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 cup diced tomatoes (optional)
– ½ cup diced onions (optional)
– ½ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
– Sour cream or salsa, for serving

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Smashburger Quesadillas:

1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Prepare the Tortillas: In a separate skillet, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
3. Assemble Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla in the skillet. Spread half of the cooked beef evenly over one side of the tortilla. Top with a generous amount of shredded cheese and your choice of diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños.
4. Fold Quesadilla: Carefully fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Press gently to seal.
5. Cook Quesadilla: Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is crisp and the cheese has melted.
6. Remove and Repeat: Take the cooked quesadilla out and place it on a cutting board. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Slice Quesadillas: Once all quesadillas are cooked, let them cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges.
8. Serve Warm: Enjoy immediately while warm, alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
