▶️Cook the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
▶️Add Vegetables:
Add the chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
▶️Season the Beef:
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
▶️Assemble the Quesadillas:
Place one tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla. Add a few spoonfuls of the ground beef mixture over the cheese, then top with another 1/4 cup of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to close.
▶️Cook the Quesadillas:
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more butter as needed.
▶️Serve:
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole for dipping.
▶️Tips
▪️Customize: Add black beans, corn, or jalapeños to the filling for extra flavor.
▪️Cheese Choice: Use a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor, such as pepper jack or mozzarella.
▪️Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet for a crisp texture.
