Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 6 Flour Tortillas
- 1 ½ cup shredded cheese (your favorite kind)
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 pound ground beef
- olive oil
Instructions
Directions:
-
Brown the ground beef in a medium frying pan. Season to taste or leave plain to avoid excess sodium.
-
While the hamburger is cooking, chop your onion and saute in a small frying pan with the 2 tablespoons of butter on medium-low heat until onions start to carmelize and get that brown color. I like using yellow vidalia onions because they are a little bit sweet which makes them taste amazing when sauteed.
-
Next you will start frying the cheesburger quesadilla. I use olive oil to fry the flour tortillas as it's a little healthier of an option. So what you do is add olive oil to a large frying pan and then place your tortilla in the pan. Add ¼ cup cheese (or more if you like it extra cheesy), hamburger and onions to just one side of the tortilla.
-
The next thing you do to the cheeseburger quesadilla is fold the tortilla section that has nothing over the filled side. Then, cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to flip the cheeseburger quesadilla halfway through to ensure that each side is golden brown and crisp.
