Ingredients
Scale
Tortillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or cheese blend
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in chopped onions and seasonings, cooking until the onions are translucent.
- Prepare the Quesadillas: On half of each tortilla, layer some of the cooked beef mixture, shredded cheese, and pickles. Fold the tortillas in half to encase the filling.
- Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the folded quesadillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with oil for that crispy finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crunchy.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh veggies and quality cheese make a noticeable difference in flavor.
- Don’t Overfill: Keep the filling to a moderate amount to avoid messy quesadillas.
- Experiment with Cheese: Mixing different types of cheese can enhance creaminess and taste.
- Keep Them Warm: Place baked quesadillas on a wire rack to keep them from getting soggy.
- Serve Immediately: For best taste and texture, enjoy your quesadillas right out of the oven.
