Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste

- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- Optional toppings: pickles, diced onions, and burger sauce
Instructions

Notes
For an extra crispy finish, brush the outside of the tortilla with melted butter or oil before grilling. Don’t overpack the quesadilla to ensure easy flipping.
