Cheeseburger Quesadilla

     Okay, so the reason I tired this one is because Beef O' Brady's has a cheeseburger wrap that is to die for! I wanted to find something similar to it, and this is what the conclusion was. This is literally so delicious. I honestly thought it was better than the wrap because its more compact and has bursting flavors. Plus it's super simple and doesn't take a lot of effort to make. The great thing about this too, is you can add any condiments or any extra vegetables that you want. The recipe is easily manipulative and you can change it to they way that you want it. Just like your own personal hamburger! The only thing I changed was the meat, and I changed it to more lean ground beef and whole wheat tortillas, just to make it a little healthier. Enjoy!


Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • ¼ cups Ketchup
  • ¼ cups Real Bacon Bits
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 2 whole Large Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • Vegetable Or Canola Oil For Brushing
  • Red Crushed Pepper Flakes For Sprinkling
 

 

 

Preparation

In a large skillet on medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes until they become translucent. Add the beef and break it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook the beef and onions together for about 10 minutes or until the beef is thoroughly cooked.
Preheat your oven to 350 F.
Once the beef is cooked add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, bacon bits, salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and stir until all is incorporated. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes.
On a large baking sheet, lay out the tortillas. Take half of the burger mixture and spread it evenly on one half of each tortilla. Top it with as much cheese as you like then flip the other half on top of the burger mixture. Brush the top with vegetable or canola oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tortilla shell becomes nice and crisp and the cheese is bubbly. Remove it from the oven and place pan on a rack. Let quesadillas sit for about 5 minutes to cool down then use a really sharp knife or pizza cutter and cut into triangles. You should get 4 large pieces out of both of them.
