Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  • Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the beef side down for 2–3 minutes until browned.
  • Flip the tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, fold in half, and grill both sides until crispy and melty.
  • Slice and serve with your favorite burger toppings or dipping sauce.

Notes

Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking. Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors. Ensure the skillet is hot enough before placing the quesadillas for a crisp result. Add ingredients like bell peppers or jalapeños for extra kick.
