Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded beef, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add half the olive oil.
  3. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of mozzarella cheese evenly over the tortilla.
  4. Spoon half of the beef mixture evenly over the cheese, then top with another half of mozzarella cheese.
  5. Fold the tortilla in half and gently press down with a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
  6. Carefully flip the quesadilla and add the remaining olive oil if needed. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
  7. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Cut into wedges and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  9. Serve with salsa or your favorite dipping sauce.

Chef’s Tips

  • Use a combination of cheeses for extra flavor, such as cheddar or pepper jack.
  • For added veggies, consider including sautéed bell peppers or onions in the filling.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the quesadilla to ensure a crispy exterior.
