Equipment
Instructions
- Mix beef and condiments: Add cooked beef to a large mixing bowl with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. Mix until beef is well coated and adjust condiments to taste. You'll want the meat to be well-coated, but not too wet.
- Cook quesadillas: Heat a large non-stick pan to medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Add your tortilla to the pan. On one half, add a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and 1/4 of the meat mixture, onion, and pickles. Top with additional cheese and fold the tortilla. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown, and flip. Cook the second side for an additional 2-3 minutes or until both sides are golden and crisp. Remove from pan and repeat for all quesadillas.
- Serve: Slice your tortillas into triangles and serve immediately. See notes for meal prep instructions.
