Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Remove the beef mixture from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, place a tortilla and sprinkle half of it with cheese. Add a portion of the beef mixture and top with more cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
