Delicious Smashburger Quesadillas

These quesadillas feature seasoned ground beef, gooey cheese, and your favorite burger toppings all wrapped in a tortilla. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato diced
1/2 cup pickles sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise or burger sauce
Cooking oil for the skillet

Instructions

Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Assemble the Quesadillas: On one half of each tortilla, layer cooked beef, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, and pickles. Drizzle with mayonnaise or burger sauce, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
Cook the Quesadillas: In the same skillet, add a little cooking oil and heat over medium heat. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve: Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve hot with additional sauce or salsa on the side.
