A delicious fusion of juicy burgers and cheesy quesadillas, perfect for quick weeknights or family movie marathons.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 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, and burger sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  2. Take a small handful of ground beef and press it directly onto one half of each tortilla.
  3. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Cook the beef side down for about 2–3 minutes until browned.
  5. Carefully flip the tortilla, sprinkle cheese over the beef, then fold in half.
