Assembling the quesadilla with layers of beef and cheese

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

  • Tortillas (flour or corn, depending on your preference)
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • Cooked beef (ground or thinly sliced)
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Optional additions: sautéed onions, bell peppers, jalapenos, beans, corn, cilantro
  • Salsa, guacamole, sour cream for serving

Step 2: Prepare the quesadillas Lay out a tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add the cooked beef and any optional additions on top of the cheese, then sprinkle another layer of cheese on top of the fillings. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to cover the fillings.

Step 3: Cook in the oven Brush both sides of the prepared quesadillas with olive oil. Place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees C (360 degrees F) for about 10-15 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted, flipping once halfway through.

Note: The cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your oven.

Step 4: Serve These quesadillas are best served hot. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with your choice of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

About Quesadillas with Beef

The quesadilla ready to be grilled on the indoor grill

The star of this recipe is the beef filling, which is seasoned with a blend of spices and cooked to perfection before being layered with cheese between two tortillas. The assembled quesadilla is then grilled on an indoor grill, resulting in a dish that’s crispy on the outside, and juicy and cheesy on the inside.

Indoor Grill Cooking Tips

  • Preheat your grill: This ensures even cooking and a perfect crust.
  • Choose the right tortilla: A sturdy tortilla like flour or corn works best for quesadillas.
  • Layer wisely: Don’t overload the quesadilla; it could make it difficult to flip.
  • Flip carefully: Use a wide spatula to flip the quesadilla for an even crust.
  • Clean after use: Regular cleaning prevents buildup and maintains the quality of your grill.
