These cheeseburger quesadillas take 10 minutes from start to finish and are one of my favorite recipes to prepare at home using ground beef. Ten-inch tortillas are pan-fried with butter, ground beef, and sharp cheddar cheese. Burger sauce is provided on the side. I suggest enjoying the crispy parts of the tortilla with the burger sauce.
I stir-fry the beef in Worcestershire sauce and seasoned salt, then drain it before putting it in the tortillas. I don't want any oil in the pan when I add the cheese because I don't like it. I use a big frying pan for 10-inch tortillas and a big spatula to flip tortillas filled with beef and cheese.
Cook the first side until browned over medium-high heat. Turn over and cook the second side until browned as the cheese melts. Cut each quesadilla into six pieces with a pizza cutter after removing it from the pan.
Serve the wedges with tomatoes and shredded lettuce. I like to unroll the quesadilla, slice it, add pickles, and then slice the unrolled quesadilla again.
