Beef Quesadillas

Stephanie Gallagher
These quesadillas are like a combination of a cheese quesadilla and a beef taco. Made with ground beef, this quesadilla recipe is fast, tasty and easy on the wallet, too.

Serve these beef quesadillas with tomato salsa and guacamole.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb. lean (90% - 93%) ground beef
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup prepared chili con queso sauce (such as Eat Smart)
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation:

  1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef.

  2. Add cumin, chili powder, salt and con queso sauce, stirring to mix well. Remove from heat.

  3. Heat olive oil in another skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Spread 1/4 of the beef mixture over half of one tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese. Fold in half and place in the prepared pan.
