Main Ingredients

Special Sauce

Method

Preparation of Special Sauce

  1. 1

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Cooking the Filling

  1. 2

    Cook Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 3

    Add Onions

    Add the diced red onion to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft.

Assembling and Cooking Quesadillas

  1. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of the special sauce on one half. Add a portion of the beef and onion mixture, followed by a handful of shredded jack cheese, shredded lettuce, and pickles. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.

  2. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, over medium heat, place the folded quesadilla. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before cutting into wedges. Serve hot with additional special sauce on the side.
