Ingredients
  

For the Quesadilla
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Use 80/20 for optimal juiciness; try Impossible Meat or seasoned black beans for a vegetarian option.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Essential seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Essential seasoning
  • 4 large Flour Tortillas Choose burrito-sized for ample filling; almond flour tortillas work great for gluten-free.
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheese A blend of sharp cheddar and American brings melty goodness; dairy-free alternatives are also available.
Optional Toppings
  • 1 cup Pickles For a tangy crunch
  • 1 cup Diced Onions Freshness complements the savory quesadilla
  • 1 cup Burger Sauce Drizzle for extra flavor
  • 1 cup Kimchi For a unique twist

Equipment

  • cast-iron skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, allowing it to warm for about 5 minutes.
  2. While the skillet heats up, take a flour tortilla and press a quarter of the ground beef onto one half, flattening it.
  3. Carefully place the tortilla beef-side down onto your hot skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Once the beef is browned, gently flip the tortilla over, add shredded cheese, and fold the tortilla in half.
  5. After the cheese has melted and the tortilla is golden brown, remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it rest for 1-2 minutes, cut into triangles, and serve.
