Burritoville, a local joint down by Southeast University here, specializes in some of the oddest burritos I’ve ever tasted. From the BBQ chicken to the Buffalo burrito, I’ve had them all, but they’ve got only one type of quesadilla. So I’ve decided to take one of my favorite burritos from there, the cheeseburger burrito and apply it to quesadilla form. Served with a side of fries and a Coke®, it’s what I call my most recent of culinary triumphs. Serve with a side of ketchup, yellow mustard, and sweet relish.

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, drain liquid from beef, and let sit for 2 minutes.
  2. Heat a griddle or flat pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Place 1 tortilla on the hot griddle, top with some of the Colby cheese, 1/4 of the beef mixture, 1 teaspoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon mustard, and 1 teaspoon relish. Top with more Colby cheese and 1 tortilla. Flatten the quesadilla with your hand.

In conclusion, Cheeseburger Quesadillas are a tasty and easy-to-make dish that combine the flavors of a cheeseburger with the convenience of a quesadilla. The recipe calls for seasoned ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and a variety of diced vegetables, all wrapped up in a tortilla and cooked until golden brown and crispy. While this dish is high in calories and fat, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. With its delicious blend of flavors and textures, Cheeseburger Quesadillas are sure to become a new favorite for anyone who loves cheeseburgers and Mexican food.
