1
Prepare the Vegetables
Chop the bell pepper and onion into small pieces.
2
Cook the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3
Season the Beef
Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning, chopped bell pepper, and onion. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

4
Layer the Ingredients
On one half of each tortilla, layer a generous amount of the beef mixture, followed by shredded cheddar cheese.
5
Fold and Cook
Fold the tortillas in half over the filling. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if necessary, and place the folded quesadillas. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

6
Slice and Serve
Remove from heat, slice the quesadillas into wedges, and serve hot with sour cream and fresh cilantro on the side.
