Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 8 small (8-inch) Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 cup Lettuce
• 1 large (sliced) Tomato
• 0.5 sliced thinly Red onion
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a thin burger patty, roughly the same size as your tortillas.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through to your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.

Step 4

In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Place one tortilla into the pan.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla. Place a cooked burger patty on top of the cheese, and then sprinkle an additional 1/4 cup of cheese over the top of the patty.

Step 6

Top with a second tortilla and press gently with a spatula. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Carefully flip the quesadilla burger and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about another 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the quesadilla burger from the pan and set aside on a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more quesadilla burgers.

Step 9

To assemble, carefully cut each quesadilla burger in half. Open the halves and layer with lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and salsa together to create a quick sauce. Serve the quesadilla burgers with the sauce for dipping or drizzling.
