A quick and indulgent mashup of a smashburger and a quesadilla, featuring seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, crunchy pickles, and tangy mustard.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8–10 inch flour tortillas
  • Cheddar or American cheese, sliced or shredded
  • Pickles, thinly sliced
  • Yellow mustard
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Cooking oil (neutral oil or butter)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Add the diced onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula. Cook until no pink remains, about 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Wipe or heat a second skillet over medium heat, adding a little oil or butter. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle cheese over half.
  4. Top the cheese with cooked beef, sliced pickles, and drizzle mustard over the pickles.
  5. Fold the tortilla to enclose the filling and press down gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges. Serve warm with dipping sauces.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture.
