Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup sugar-free tomato salsa
- 4 low-carb tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to combine the flavors.
Add the sugar-free tomato salsa to the mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
In a separate flat pan, melt half the tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Place one of the low-carb tortillas in the pan, then sprinkle half the cheddar cheese evenly over it.
Spread half of the beef mixture over the cheese, leaving a small border around the edge, and then top with another tortilla.
Press gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Remove the quesadilla from the pan, and cut into wedges. Repeat this process for the remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Beef Quesadilla!
