  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
– Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole, chopped cilantro


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create mouth-watering Ground Beef Quesadillas:

1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Season the Beef: Drain excess fat and return the beef to the skillet. Add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly on one side of each tortilla.
4. Add the Beef: Spoon a portion of the seasoned ground beef onto the cheese-covered side of each tortilla. Top with the remaining cheese.
5. Fold the Tortillas: Carefully fold each tortilla in half, pressing down gently to seal.
6. Heat the Skillet: In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.
7. Cook the Quesadillas: Place one folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
8. Slice and Serve: Once cooked, let the quesadillas cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
