Description
A delicious twist on burgers and quesadillas, these Smashburger Quesadillas combine juicy beef with crispy, cheesy tortillas, perfect for a quick meal or party snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to season)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- Optional: pickles, diced onions, burger sauce for serving
Instructions
- 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 the cheese is melty.
- Slice and serve with your favorite burger toppings or dipping sauce.
Notes
Make sure to season the beef well for the best flavor. Use a nonstick skillet or add a little oil to prevent sticking. Don’t overfill your quesadillas; less is more to keep them from falling apart. Experiment with different cheeses or spices to give it your unique twist.
