Steps

  1. Prepare the sauce first so the flavors have time to meld. Combine mayo, ketchup, and pickles, stir well, cover, and refrigerate while you prepare the quesadillas.
  2. Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add oil. Once shimmering, add onion and cook until softened/translucent.
  3. Add ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook, crumbling, until browned. Drain excess grease well to prevent soggy tortillas.
  4. Add ketchup and mustard and stir until well incorporated.
  5. Stir in pickles. Remove from heat.
  6. Lay a flour tortilla flat and sprinkle one half of the tortilla with about 2 Tablespoons of cheese (this will give you 8 quesadillas, you can use a bit more if you’re only making 6 tortillas). Top with about ⅓ cup ground beef mixture (again, feel free to use a bit more if you’re making 6 quesadillas) and sprinkle with another 2 Tablespoons cheese. Fold the bare half of the tortilla over the cheese to cover the filling.
  7. Heat a clean 10” (or larger) skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add about a half teaspoon of oil or butter and spread evenly over the skillet.
  8. Gently place quesadilla into heated skillet (if I use a 10” skillet I can usually cook 2 at a time) and gently press down. Cook for several minutes until golden brown (keep an eye on yours as stove temps vary and you don’t want to burn it!), then carefully flip and cook on the other side until cheese is melty and tortilla is golden brown.
  9. Remove to a plate, cut in half, and serve with the sauce (I serve it on the side for dipping, but you can drizzle it over the quesadillas or even pull one apart and spoon some inside!). Enjoy!
