Pack a flavor punch by using different shredded cheese blends!
Servings - 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 Tbsp minced onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese blend
- Fresh fruit or salad side dish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the minced onion and garlic powder. Drain if needed, and then stir in the chili powder and ground cumin. Remove from heat.
- Lay the tortilla on the baking sheet and sprinkle the shredded cheese blend onto half of the tortilla. (You will be folding the tortilla, so sprinkle a thin layer over half.) Top with the browned, seasoned ground beef. Then sprinkle more shredded cheese on top of the beef. Fold the tortilla over to cover the cheese.
- Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas, beef and shredded cheese. 4 half-tortillas should fit on a standard size cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then carefully flip and cook another 5 minutes. You want both sides to be slightly golden and the cheese melted through.
- Run a knife of pizza wheel through the quesadilla and cut into wedges.
- Serve Cheesy Beef Quesadillas with side of fruit and/or salad.
