Easy Ground Beef Quesadillas
Easy weeknight quesadillas with only 5 ingredients. Your family is sure to love them.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 cup Pace Picante Sauce
- Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
- Butter
- 6 Tortilla Shells
Instructions
- Brown your meat in a large skillet on medium heat
- Once it's brown, strain the extra grease out
- Reduce heat to low, and return the beef to the skillet
- Add in your Picante sauce
- Just cook for about 1 extra minute, to make sure the Picante Sauce is well incorporated
- Put meat in a bowl to the side
- Clean out your skillet
- Put in about a tablespoon of butter in the skillet with the stove on medium heat again
- Put one tortilla shell in the pan
- Sprinkle some cheese on half of the tortilla shell
- Add a spoonful of the ground beef mixture
- Then sprinkle some more cheese on top
- Fold the other half of the tortilla shell over to form a moon shape. Press the edges down a little to keep the ingredients from falling out when you flip the quesadilla.
- Flip the quesadilla over to cook on the other side until golden brown on both sides
- Use a knife (or pizza cutter is easier) to cut the quesadilla into 3 triangles
- Serve with your favorite queso, salsa, both, or neither
Notes
Be careful not to overfill the one side of the shell, so it won't all spill out when you flip it. Nutrition information is just an estimate based on the packaging and the amounts used.
