Last Thursday was “Taco Night” at our house. (And turns out, it was at many of your houses, as well!) I made a double batch of my favorite taco meat…thinking I’d freeze some to have another taco night next month.
Instead, I ended up “repurposing” the taco meat into quesadillas last night! Steve and I had the cheesy quesadillas dipped in sour cream…and the boys had “taco roll-ups.” I just rolled the taco meat up burrito style and then I challenged them to not let any of the taco meat fall out.
There were subsequently quite a few giggles at the dinner table last night!

"Repurpose" leftover beef taco meat into quesadillas - a great way to stretch meat protein and save on groceries!
Servings - 4 servings

Instructions
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- In a bowl, combine the taco meat and cheese. Place the mixture onto half part of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla over and then warm the griddle, skillet or whatever contraption you have to make the quesadillas.
- On a griddle or in large skillet, cook the quesadillas for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Press down with large spatula to get to "stick together." Or use a panini press, waffle iron or quesadilla maker.
