Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup mayo
2 Tablespoons grated onion
2 Tablespoons ketchup
1 Tablespoon pickle relish
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
16 thinly sliced cheddar cheese
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup pickles
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Make the Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, grated onion, ketchup, pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and paprika. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart into small pieces. Once fully cooked, drain off any excess grease.
- Season the Beef: Sprinkle the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
- Assemble the Quesadillas: Place each tortilla on a flat surface. On half of each tortilla, add 2 slices of cheddar cheese, followed by the cooked beef mixture. Top with chopped onions and pickles, then place 2 more slices of cheese on top. Fold the tortillas over to form a quesadilla.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up. Once hot, add the quesadillas and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, slice them into triangles, and serve with the prepared burger sauce.
Notes
- Leftover quesadillas can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat quesadillas in a skillet over low to medium heat, or microwave for 1-2 minutes, though the crispy texture may not be as intact.
- Customize with additional burger toppings like tomatoes, avocado, or bacon.
- For a spicier version, add jalapeƱos or hot sauce to the quesadillas.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef for a lighter alternative.
- Use gluten-free tortillas for dietary needs.
