Instructions
Mexi-Ranch Sauce
- Combine the sour cream, ranch dressing, salsa, and taco seasoning in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Quesadillas
- Preheat the oven to 200°F.
- Divide the cheese evenly among 8 tortillas. Cover the cheese with the 8 remaining tortillas.
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the quesadillas for about two minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the burgers.
Burger Patties
- Combine the ground chuck, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, and use your hands to incorporate. Divide the beef into 4 patties.
- With a paper towel, wipe out the non-stick skillet you used for the quesadillas, and cook the burgers over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
Burger Assembly
- Place each burger patty on top of a quesadilla. Top each patty with 2 slices of pepper jack cheese, 2 slices of cooked bacon, pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, and Mexi-ranch sauce.
Notes
- Want perfectly cooked bacon? Try baking it in the oven! No mess, and perfectly flat crisp bacon.
- Make the Mexi-sauce ahead of time. If you have any left over, it makes a great salad dressing!
- Have leftover chicken or grilled veggies, add them to the quesadillas!
- You can purchase prepared pico de gallo or make homemade pico de gallo.
