Hi there! I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday weekend. You know, Saturday is National Tortilla Day. Since I have some leftover ground beef from our Memorial Day cookout, I was inspired to combine the beef and tortillas into a wonderful lunch of Beefy Quesadillas! Oh yeah...so good.
I love Mexican food and these Beefy Quesadillas were simple to make and really hit the spot for a light lunch.
It's really just burrito filling that I made quesadilla style instead. Packed with seasoned ground beef, beans, cheese, a little green chilies, and some hot sauce. Oh boy, these were good! Serve them with a plop of sour cream or some salsa and you are set. Lunch is served!
A perfect way to use up any leftover ground beef and so get your Mexican craving on!
Enjoy!
Beefy Quesadillas
serves 2
1/2 lb. ground beef or sirloin
1/4 c refried beans
4-6 dashes of hot sauce
1 Tbls. of chopped green chilies (from a 4 oz can)
2 Tbls taco seasoning
4 8 inch flour tortillas
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Add 1/4 c water, the taco seasoning, and the green chilies, and bring to a low boil until a sauce forms and most of the water has evaporated.
Meanwhile in a small saucepan, add the refried beans and the hot sauce. Heat over low heat until warm, stirring to combine.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. On a board place one tortilla flat and spread half of the refried beans on the bottom from the middle out to the edges. Layer on the meat mixture and then the cheese. Place in the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side 2-3 minutes until brown. Remove from the pan and cut with a pizza cutter or knife and serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
