Cheeseburger Quesadilla
A fun weeknight twist that brings all the flavor of a classic cheeseburger into a crispy, cheesy tortilla.
recipesbynani.comThis cheeseburger quesadilla is a total staple in my kitchen. It is one of those meals that always hits the spot when you want something satisfying, beefy, and quick to put on the table.
My family loves this because it combines two of our favorite comfort foods into one. Use your favorite flour tortillas and a good melting cheese to get the best results every time.

Remove the beef from the skillet and wipe the pan clean.

💡 Tips
Serve these with extra pickles on the side for a nice crunch. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in a dry skillet to get the tortilla crispy again.
