Enjoy the crispy, melty goodness of smashburger flavors tucked inside a tortilla for a quick and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
  • Optional: pickles, diced onions, burger sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot.
  2. Divide the beef into small portions and press each portion thinly onto one half of a tortilla in the hot pan, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook the beef side down for 2 to 3 minutes until browned and crisp.
  4. Flip the tortilla so the beef cooks briefly on the other side. Sprinkle cheese over the cooked beef half.
  5. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the beef and cheese. Press gently with a spatula and cook until the outside is golden and the cheese melted, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from skillet, let rest briefly, then slice into wedges.
  7. Serve with pickles, diced onions, and burger sauce for dipping.

Notes

For a leaner option, use lean ground beef but it may result in drier quesadillas. Try pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese for a spicier flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
