Cheeseburger Quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground meat (beef, turkey, pork etc.)
• 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning
• 1/2 cup Thousand Island Dressing or Burger Sauce
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 12 slices American or cheddar cheese, cut in half
• 1/2 cup dill pickles, chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
• Shredded lettuce, optional
• Diced tomatoes, optional

Instructions

1. Pour oil into a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add in the ground meat and cook, breaking it into smaller pieces as it browns.
3. Sprinkle in the hamburger seasoning and stir until well blended.
4. Continue stirring and cooking until meat is browned, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove any excess grease from the skillet.
6. One by one, place the tortillas into a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
7. Evenly place 6 half slices of cheese on the tortilla.
8. Spoon one-fourth of the seasoned meat onto one side of the tortilla.
9. Sprinkle onions and pickles (and any other optional burger toppings) over the meat.
10. Drizzle Thousand Island dressing over the filling.
11. When the tortilla has started to brown and the cheese is melty and bubbly, fold the side with just cheese over onto the side with meat and toppings, creating a half circle.
12. Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let rest on a cutting board or plate for about a minute.
13. Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the quesadilla in half or into thirds.
14. Serve with additional Thousand Island dressing, if desired.
15. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and quesadilla ingredients.
