Ingredients
Scale
For the Quesadilla Layers:
- 2 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Filling:
- 1 cup cooked and seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken
- ½ cup cooked rice (preferably cilantro-lime rice)
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup nacho cheese sauce or queso
- ¼ cup refried beans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons taco sauce or hot sauce
- Nonstick spray or butter for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the Quesadilla Layers: Lay out one tortilla and sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese evenly across it. Place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
- Fill and Assemble: Once cooled, add cooked beef or chicken, rice, sour cream, nacho cheese, beans (if using), and taco sauce to the center of the quesadilla. Fold and roll tightly into a burrito shape.
- Grill: Grill the assembled quesarito in a skillet until lightly crisped and sealed, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
- Serve: Slice in half and serve warm with extra sauce or guacamole.
Notes
- Customize your quesarito with additional toppings like fajita veggies, jalapeños, or chipotle sauce.
- You can prepare the filling in advance for a quick weeknight meal.
