This Cheeseburger Quesadilla combines the classic flavors of a cheeseburger with the crispy, cheesy goodness of a quesadilla. Ground beef seasoned perfectly and layered with cheddar cheese, onions, and pickles inside warm flour tortillas creates a deliciously satisfying meal, complemented by a tangy homemade burger sauce.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Burger Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 Tablespoons grated onion
  • 2 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon pickle relish
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Quesadilla Filling

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 burrito sized flour tortillas
  • 16 thinly sliced cheddar cheese slices
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pickles, sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Burger Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together mayo, grated onion, ketchup, pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and paprika until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Brown it thoroughly, breaking it apart into small pieces. Once cooked, drain excess grease.
  3. Season Beef: Season the cooked beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well until combined, then remove from heat.
  4. Assemble Quesadillas: Lay out each flour tortilla and on half of each, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese. Divide the seasoned beef evenly over the cheese, then add chopped onions and pickles on top, followed by 2 more slices of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.
  5. Cook Quesadillas: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the quesadillas on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted inside.
  6. Serve: Remove quesadillas from the skillet, slice into triangles, and serve warm with the prepared burger sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce grease and keep the quesadilla crisp.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar with your favorite melting cheese like Monterey Jack or Colby.
  • For extra flavor, add diced tomatoes or jalapeños inside.
  • Make the burger sauce a day ahead to let flavors meld for enhanced taste.
  • If you don’t have a griddle, a large non-stick skillet works perfectly for cooking quesadillas.
