Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can tomato sauce 8 oz can
- 4 burrito size tortillas 10 inch tortillas
- 4 cups Colby jack cheese shredded
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink and browned. Drain off the excess grease and return the beef to the skillet.
- Stir in the minced garlic and heat for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic. Then stir in the tomato sauce and seasonings. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Heat over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Heat a separate skillet over medium high heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet. Add the beef mixture to half the tortilla and top with 1 cup of the shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half. Cook until the bottom of the quesadilla is golden brown (2-3 minutes). Flip and cook until the opposite side is also golden brown (2-3 more minutes) and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet to a separate plate. Follow the same process with the remaining ingredients to form 3 more quesadillas. Slice each quesadilla into 4 pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
