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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Preheat another large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place a second tortilla over the top to create a quesadilla sandwich.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool slightly before cutting into wedges.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and beef mixture.
Step 9
Serve warm with additional ketchup or mustard for dipping, if desired.
