Print Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 GRANDE flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef cooked and drained WELL
  • 1 package of taco seasoning
  • 8 slices of Cheddar cheese
  • 1 large tomato chopped
  • Optional: chopped jalapenos shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, taco sauce

Method
 

  1. Brown your ground beef and DRAIN off the fat well.
  2. Season with taco seasoning and only half the water called for on packet. If there’s excess water, drain.
  3. Spray your sheet pan with cooking spray, or brush on a little melted butter.
  4. Lay out 3 to 4 of your tortillas to cover you sheet pan, letting the extra hang over.
  5. Using kitchen scissors, cut off the excess right inside the border of the pan. Save scraps.
  6. Lay out Cheddar cheese slices on tortillas.
  7. Spread the cooked and well drained beef over the cheese, then the tomatoes.
  8. OPTION: If you like you can add another layer of cheese, this does help everything stay together better, but it does make it very cheesy! So go with your preference. :)
  9. Use the other 3 tortillas to cover the top, and trim with kitchen scissors to fit.
  10. Spray top lightly with cooking spray or brush, with a little melted butter.
  11. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes, but watch so they don’t burn.
  12. Let cool for a few minutes, then using kitchen scissors, cut into 12 squares, and serve with your favorite taco extras, like shredded lettuce, jalapenos and sour cream.
  13. ***Make sure meat is fairly dry, otherwise your quesadillas will be soggy.
