Smashburger Quesadillas


  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Meat

Description

A delightful fusion of classic burgers and cheesy quesadillas, perfect for lunch, dinner, or snacks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder (for seasoning)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • Optional: pickles, diced onions, burger sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Take a small handful of ground beef and press it directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Carefully place the tortillas in the skillet with the beef side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef turns a rich, golden brown.
  4. Flip the tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, then fold it in half. Grill both sides until they are crispy, and the cheese melts into gooey perfection.
  5. Remove from heat, slice, and serve hot with your favorite burger toppings or dipping sauce.

Notes

For added flavor, use freshly ground beef and consider grilling quesadillas in a bit of butter for a golden finish.
