Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best for that soft yet crispy texture; choose large ones for maximum filling.
Cheddar Cheese: Opt for sharp cheddar; it melts beautifully and adds depth to each bite.
Ketchup: A classic burger condiment that adds sweetness; feel free to use your favorite brand.
Mustard: Adds tanginess; yellow mustard works great or try Dijon for an upscale twist.
Picked Jalapeños: Optional but highly recommended if you like a spicy kick in your quesadilla.
Onion Powder & Garlic Powder: Essential seasonings that enhance the overall flavor profile without overwhelming it.
Olive Oil or Butter: For cooking; both add richness while helping achieve that golden-brown crispiness.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed but keep some moisture for flavor.
Add Flavorings: Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, ketchup, mustard, and jalapeños if using. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and heated through.
Assemble Your Quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon half of the beef mixture onto one half of the tortilla and sprinkle generously with cheddar cheese.
Cook Quesadilla Until Golden Brown: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Slice & Serve!: Once cooked, remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing into wedges. Serve with extra ketchup or mustard on the side for dipping.
