Cheesy Ground Beef Quesadilla Melt
A crispy, golden tortilla stuffed with juicy seasoned beef and gooey melted cheese—simple, satisfying, and irresistibly delicious!
Ingredients:
2 large flour tortillas
1/2 lb (250g) ground beef
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter
Optional: sliced jalapeños, diced onions, or chopped cilantro
Optional for serving: sour cream, salsa, or guacamole
Instructions:
Cook the beef:
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well and cook until fully done. Remove from heat.
Assemble the quesadilla:
Lay one tortilla flat. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over it, then add the cooked beef mixture. Top with the remaining cheese and place the second tortilla on top.
Cook until crispy:
Heat a clean pan over medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Carefully place the quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.
Slice and serve:
Remove from the pan, let it cool slightly, then cut into wedges. Serve warm with your favorite dips like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Tip:
For extra flavor, add sautéed onions or a dash of hot sauce inside before cooking!
Enjoy your quick, cheesy, and flavor-packed meal!
