Ingredients

For the Quesadillas:

  • 2 tablespoons butter (for the pan)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, to taste
  • 4 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 3 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • Cayenne pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, to taste

For the Toppings:

  • Chopped tomatoes
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Sliced pickles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef:
    • In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
    • Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
    • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and season with Lawry’s Seasoned Salt to taste.
    • Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
    • Heat another tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
    • Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 of the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.
    • Add a layer of cooked ground beef over the cheese.
    • Sprinkle another 1/4 of the cheese over the beef, then top with a second tortilla.
    • Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
    • Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and beef to make 4 quesadillas.
  4. Serve:
    • Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot.
    • Top with chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sliced pickles.
    • Drizzle with the prepared sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
