Beef Quesadilla is a delicious Mexican-inspired dish that features a crispy, golden-brown tortilla stuffed with a savory mixture of seasoned ground beef, melted cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, and sometimes fresh herbs like parsley. The filling, enriched with tomato sauce and sautéed onions, is perfectly seasoned with salt, black pepper, and optional herbs, making it both hearty and flavorful. Once folded and grilled to perfection, the quesadilla boasts a satisfying crunch on the outside, while the gooey, melted cheese and tender beef create a rich, mouthwatering texture inside. This quick and easy-to-make dish is ideal for a snack, lunch, or dinner and can be customized with various toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Directions

1. Step

Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 20 grams of chopped onion and sauté until softened. Then, add 200 grams of ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in 1 cup of tomato sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper to taste, and parsley. Mix well. Once the beef is cooked, sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top and stir.

2. Step
Transfer the cooked beef mixture to a bowl and set it aside.
3. Step
Turn off the heat. In the same pan, add a small amount of oil and place a tortilla in the pan. Spread the prepared beef mixture evenly over the tortilla and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Press down gently with your hands to ensure the toppings are evenly distributed.
4. Step
Turn the stove back on to medium heat and cook the tortilla until it becomes crispy and the cheese melts. Flip the tortilla carefully and fry the other side until golden. Once done, remove it from the pan and serve hot.
