Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked meatloaf
- 4 Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- Optional toppings (e.g., guacamole, jalapeños)
Instructions
If using leftover meatloaf, warm it up slightly in the microwave or on the stovetop until just heated through. Crumble or chop it into small pieces for easy spreading.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface of the skillet evenly.
Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Evenly spread 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla.
Add 1/2 cup of crumbled meatloaf on top of the cheese, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle with an additional 1/2 cup of cheese on top of the meatloaf.
Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the meatloaf and cheese to form a half-moon shape. Press gently with a spatula to ensure everything sticks together.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp.
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat steps 2-6 with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and meatloaf.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with sour cream, salsa, and optional toppings like chopped green onions, guacamole, or jalapeños.
