Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 8 slices American cheese
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1 tbsp butter or neutral oil

Method
 

  1. Brown the beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles, about 5 minutes. Drain fat, then stir in Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and chopped pickles in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Spread 1 tbsp sauce over each tortilla. Place 2 cheese slices on half, top with a quarter of the beef, add 2 more cheese slices, and fold.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla until deep golden and crisp, 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula.
  5. Rest 1 minute on a cutting board, slice into wedges, and serve hot with extra sauce.

Notes

A cast-iron skillet gives the deepest golden crust. If you like heat, add diced jalapeños inside or a few shakes of hot sauce to the burger sauce.
