Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add ground beef or shredded chicken. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder. Cook until the meat is fully cooked and browned (about 7-10 minutes for ground beef, 5-7 minutes for shredded chicken).

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on one half, add a portion of the cooked meat, and fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary, and heat over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with guacamole, sour cream, and salsa on the side.
