Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 pieces Tortillas (10-inch)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Pickles (optional, chopped)
- 0.25 cup Ketchup (optional)
- 1 tbsp Mustard (optional)
- 2 tbsp Butter or oil
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat another large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Spread about 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one side of a tortilla. Add a layer of cooked ground beef, about 1/4 of the mixture, evenly distributed. Sprinkle a few chopped pickles, drizzle ketchup and mustard if using, and top with another 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place a second tortilla over the top to create a quesadilla sandwich.
Add a small amount of butter or oil to the preheated skillet and carefully place the prepared quesadilla in. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and beef mixture.
Serve warm with additional ketchup or mustard for dipping, if desired.
