Cheeseburger Quesadilla
I combined two favorites—a cheeseburger and quesadilla—into one fast, easy and totally delicious dish.
Ingredients
- 4 whole-grain tortilla wraps
- 1 pound ground turkey, 90 to 94 percent lean
- 1 to 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup 2% shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional toppers: lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, onion, pickle circles, ketchup and mustard.
Instructions
- Mist a skillet with oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and sauté for about 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles, until it’s all cooked through. Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix everything until well combined.
- Turn off heat and transfer seasoned meat to a plate. Wipe off skillet to use for quesadilla.
For each quesadilla:
- Liberally mist skillet with nonstick oil spray and warm over medium high heat. Place tortilla on top for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bottom is slightly toasted. Flip tortilla and place ½ to ¾ cup seasoned ground meat on only one side.
- Layer on ¼ cup cheese, some scattered lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles, if preferred. Fold empty tortilla half over the side with fillings and gently press down. Place a lid on skillet to melt the cheese.
- Transfer to a plate and slice in half. Serve with ketchup or mustard on the side for dipping—or pipe over the top creating decorative swirls.
Notes
If you prepare 4 quesadillas as instructed, you’ll likely have leftover meat, which you can stash in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days for future meals. Or, you can make 1 quesadilla at a time when a craving strikes and scale down ingredients accordingly.
