Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Onion
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 4 Flour Tortillas
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Pickles
- Jalapeños
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with chopped onions until fully cooked. Make sure to drain any excess fat.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle your desired seasoning mixture over the cooked beef and onions. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to infuse for a couple of minutes.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Take a flour tortilla and spread a generous amount of the beef mixture on one half. Top with shredded cheese before folding the tortilla in half.
- Bake the Quesadillas: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the folded quesadillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice them into wedges, arrange on a platter, and get ready to dig in!
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can make the quesadillas hard to cook evenly and can lead to leakage.
- Use a Baking Rack: Elevate the quesadillas on a wire rack for optimal crispiness on all sides.
- Cool Before Slicing: Allow the quesadillas to cool slightly to help the cheese set and make slicing easier.
- Experiment with Dips: Serve with ranch, salsa, or guacamole to enhance the flavor experience.
- Chill Before Cooking: Let the filled quesadillas chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes before baking for even better results.
