What Are Blackstone Cheeseburger Quesadillas?

Blackstone Cheeseburger Quesadillas are a fun mashup of a classic cheeseburger and a crispy quesadilla. Seasoned ground beef is cooked on the griddle, then layered inside a tortilla with burger sauce, pickles, and melted cheese.

The tortilla cooks directly on the Blackstone, creating a crispy outside while the cheese melts inside.

Ingredients

• Ground Beef – We recommend using 80/20 ground beef for the best flavor and texture. It cooks well on the Blackstone and stays juicy inside the quesadilla. Lean ground beef can also be used if you prefer.
• Dill Pickles – Chopped dill pickles add the classic cheeseburger flavor. You can also use pickle relish if that’s what you have on hand.
• Burrito Size Tortillas – Large burrito-size flour tortillas work best because they hold the filling and fold easily. You can also use whole wheat, low-carb, or gluten-free tortillas.
• Cheddar Cheese – Shredded cheddar melts well and gives the quesadilla that classic cheeseburger flavor. You can also use Colby Jack, American cheese, or a Mexican blend.
• Burger Sauce – The simple sauce is made with mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard for a classic burger flavor. You can also add a little pickle juice or relish for extra tang.
