Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Filling

    In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded beef and house tomato sauce. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Spread a portion of the beef filling over half of the tortilla, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the beef. Fold the tortilla in half.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden brown. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve warm with optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
