Hello companions, in case you're searching for a simple quesadilla formula, you've gone to the correct spot!
On the off chance that you know me and you pursue Girl Heart Food you realize that I'm a HUGE enthusiast of quesadillas. One reason is, as flame broiled cheddar sandwiches, quesadillas are a technique for getting more cheddar in my pie gap, lol.
Truly, however, hubby and I appreciate quesadillas on the standard. They're excessively simple to prepare, you can put as meager or as much as you need in them and they generally taste astonishing.
I've imparted different assortments to you all previously, similar to chicken, lentil, and even breakfast quesadillas. Today however? Ground hamburger quesadillas. One thing they all share for all intents and purpose—>Cheese… and loads of it! You gotta have quesadillas with cheddar, in the event that you ask me! Disclose to me you don't wanna get some through your screen… .assuming just, right?!
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef -I used ‘extra lean’
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp unsalted beef stock
- 12 oz shredded cheese blend -about 3 cups (or combination of cheddar, monterey jack and pizza mozzarella)
- 6 flour tortillas -mine were about 7 – 8 inch diameter
- cooking spray -to grease pan
- Preheat oven to 200 F (to keep quesadillas warm while cooking batches).
- In a pan (I used non stick) on medium heat add olive oil.
- When shimmering, add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, oregano, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Heat until cooked through, breaking into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and stock and cook 1 -2 minutes more.
- Remove beef from pan into a bowl. If there is any excess grease drain/remove.
- Distribute about 8 ounces (or 2 cups) of cheese among all tortillas (on one side of them). NOTE: reserve the remaining 4 ounces (or cup of cheese).
- Also, if your tortillas are smaller or larger than the size I used, the quantity you yield will vary.
- Distribute ground beef on top of cheese. Then, sprinkle remaining 1 cup (or 4 ounces) of cheese on top of ground beef. Fold tortilla over so you have a half moon shape.
- Working in batches (about 2 quesadillas per batch), spray cooking spray into pan and cook quesadillas (on medium low heat) for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted (carefully turning and watching to ensure they don't burn). While continuing batches, place cooked quesadillas on a baking sheet in preheated oven to keep warm.
- Cut each half moon in half. Serve with salsa, guacamole and/or sour cream. Enjoy!
