Grilled Cheeseburger Quesadillas

By davidv

Do you ever wish the buns of your grilled cheeseburger, were magically transformed into tortillas? Us too. Grilled cheeseburger quesadillas are the new summertime staple.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
• 1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 (10-inch) flour tortillas
• 4 slices American cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a grill over medium heat.

Combine the ground beef, onion, ketchup, mustard, relish, salt and pepper in a medium-size bowl.

Place the tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread half of meat mixture on half of each tortilla, leaving about a 1/2-inch border. Top the beef with 2 slices of American cheese and 1/2 cup cheddar. Fold the empty side of each tortilla over the filled side.

Grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese has melted and light grill marks appear. Cut into wedges before serving.


Tip: I like to use 3 (5 ounce) Bobby Chez Smashed Burgers instead of ground beef because they're such a great quality. Cook and crumble, as directed.
