This hearty cheeseburger quesadilla recipe combines the best of two comfort food worlds into one irresistible meal. The crispy tortilla exterior gives way to a gooey, cheesy inside packed with seasoned ground beef and all your favorite burger toppings, complete with a zippy special sauce that ties everything together.
I first created these quesadillas when my family was craving burgers but I wanted something less messy for movie night. Now they request these crispy, cheesy triangles at least twice a month, and honestly I am happy to oblige because they come together so quickly.
