Quesadilla Burger

This Quesadilla Burger combines a taco spiced hamburger patty with melted cheese in between two grilled, flour tortillas.

Do you like burgers? Do you like quesadillas? Then you’ll love this Quesadilla Burger! I think quesadilla burgers used to be on the menu at Applebee’s. I vaguely remember them from when I was a waitress there (a very long time ago). For mine I seasoned my ground beef with taco seasoning and added a little mayonnaise for an extra juicy burger. Quesadilla burgers are big on flavor. And they are ready very quickly, making them a great option for family dinner on a busy night.

How to Make a Quesadilla Burger

Season the ground beef and shape into burgers. Cook the burgers in a non-stick skillet until they reach 160 degrees F. Layer the burgers with shredded cheese in between two small tortillas. Grill both sides of the tortillas until the cheese is melted.

What Goes on a Quesadilla Burger

These are the toppings I serve on the side for adding to the cooked Quesadilla Burger –

• Shredded Lettuce
• Guacamole
• Jalapeño Peppers
• Salsa

Kitchen Tips

Instructions

• In a large bowl mix together the ground sirloin with the taco seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and mayonnaise. Form into four patties. Make sure the patties are about the same size as your flour tortillas.
