Cheeseburger Quesadillas are a game-changing mashup of two comfort food legends. You get the juicy, seasoned beef and tangy burger condiments you love, sandwiched between golden-crisp tortillas with melty cheddar oozing out of every bite.
They’re fast, fun, and family-approved—perfect for busy weeknights, game-day snacks, or a quick weekend lunch. Want to take it over the top? Add bacon, jalapeños, or a drizzle of burger sauce before folding and toasting. These are crowd-pleasers you’ll be making again and again.
Ingredients:
