How to Make Cheesy Ground Beef Quesadillas
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, approximately 4 minutes, seasoning with chili powder and cumin for added flavor.
  2. While the beef cooks, mash the avocados in a bowl. Mix in lime juice, salt, and optional garlic for a delightful guacamole.
  3. Take a tortilla and layer on a generous helping of cooked beef and shredded cheese. Fold in half to encapsulate the delicious filling.
  4. In the same skillet, place the folded tortillas. Cook on medium heat until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted—around 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Once cooked, remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve with guacamole on the side for a creamy dip.
