Description
Juicy beef smashed into tortillas, layered with melty cheese, folded, and crisped to golden perfection. These Smashburger Quesadillas are the ultimate quick, budget-friendly dinner idea for two!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to season)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or American cheese
- Optional: pickles, diced onions, burger sauce for serving
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
2. Press a small handful of ground beef directly onto one half of each tortilla. Season well.
3. Cook beef side down for 2–3 minutes until browned.
4. Flip, sprinkle with cheese, fold in half, and grill both sides until crispy and melty.
5. Slice and serve with your favorite burger toppings or dipping sauce.
Notes
Press beef thin so it cooks quickly and evenly.
Shred your own cheese for the best melt.
Use medium-high heat for that golden-brown crust.
Let quesadillas rest 1 minute before slicing so cheese sets.
