Description
A delicious fusion of classic smashburger flavors and cheesy quesadillas, featuring seasoned ground beef, melted cheese, and optional burger toppings, all wrapped in a crispy flour tortilla for a quick and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 ratio recommended)
- Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- Optional toppings: pickles, diced onions, burger sauce
Instructions
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Place the tortilla beef-side down on the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beef is browned.
- Flip the tortilla and sprinkle cheese over the cooked beef. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Slice into wedges and serve with optional toppings or dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, lightly butter the outside of the tortilla before cooking.
- Use cold ground beef for easier handling and shaping.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
