Description

Delicious quesadillas that blend the rich flavors of a classic smashburger with the convenience of a crispy tortilla.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • Optional: Pickles, diced onions, burger sauce

Instructions

  1. Heat your skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Take a small handful of ground beef and press it onto one half of each tortilla.
  3. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Cook for about 2–3 minutes until browned.
