How to Make on the Stove:

If you prefer you can make this recipe in a cast iron skillet or an electric skillet. You can prepare the ground beef in as indicated in the recipe. By cooking the ground beef with the seasoning and sauce in a large skillet over medium low heat.

Then remove the ground beef and place in a separate bowl. Then place the tortilla down in the skillet and top it with the cooked ground beef mixture and cheese. Fold the flour tortilla and cook both sides.

Recipe Variations:

  • Cheese – There are a variety cheeses that can be used when making quesadilla. You can easily use a Mexican blend cheese or add in some pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.

Tips for Cheesy Beef Quesadillas:

  • Oil for the Griddle – I used vegetable oil in this recipe. But any oil with a high smoke point will work great. Avocado oil, coconut oil or canola oil would work great in this recipe.
  • Cheese – You can easily use your favorite type of cheeses in this quesadilla recipe. Use what you have. We like to use cheddar and pepper jack.
  • Leftovers – If you have leftover ground beef, you can still use the Blackstone to cook this quesadilla. Simple place your tortilla on the griddle then add in your favorite toppings for a delicious meal.
  • Seasoning – You can add in some garlic powder or chili powder for extra flavoring.
  • Cooking Quesadilla – It doesn’t take long for the tortilla to get crispy. Make sure you stay close by so you can flip the tortilla.
  • Carefully Flip – When you are flipping the quesadilla, make sure to carefully flip. You want to make sure that the ingredients stay within the tortilla.

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.  When you are want to reheat, you can reheat the quesadilla on the stove top or the air fryer. This will result in that crispy texture.
