• porzioni: 4 servings
• tempo di preparazione: 10 minutes
• tempo totale: 30 minutes

Ingredienti

1 pound lean ground beef

1 onion (finely diced)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 cups shredded cheddar or colby jack cheese

4 large tortillas (burrito sized)

2 tablespoons butter

Istruzioni

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and onion to the skillet and stir frequently, breaking apart the meat as you stir. Continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink, then drain any excess grease or moisture and return to pan.

Add the chili powder, oregano, salt, garlic powder and cumin and stir into the meat simmering for 2-3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Lay a burrito sized tortilla down and sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese over the entire tortilla. Then add meat evenly over half of the tortilla.

Allow the quesadilla to cook until the cheese is starting to melt and the underside is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Then fold the tortilla over and remove if golden brown. If the outside of the quesadilla is not browned and crispy, continue to cook until it is lightly browned and crispy, then flip and finish cooking the top side until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining tortillas until you have 4 large quesadillas. Once done, cut the quesadillas into thirds (3 triangles) with a knife or pizza cutter. Serve immediately.
