  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

  5. Sprinkle on the cheese and then the tomato.
  6. When the tortilla is a light brown, fold the tortilla in half over the mixture.

  8. Carefully flip the quesadilla over with a large spatula and cook the other side the same way then serve.

  17. Curious, though you picture flour tortillas you do not include them in the ingredient list nor note how many servings this may make. Pretty sure one tortilla not going to handle a full pound of ground beef. 🙂 Thanks…

    • Thank you for bringing the tortilla to my attention!!! I will add that to my ingredients. I gave ingredients to make one quesadilla and said to put whatever amount of the meat you wanted in it. So depending on how much meat you use will determine how many you can make. Same with the cheese, use whatever amount you want. I like these because they can be personalized to each person’s preference like light cheese, heavy cheese, more meat, veggies etc. I hope this helps.

    • Yes you don’t have to turn on the oven!!! We normally use our quesadilla maker (even less heat) but most people don’t have one so I showed it cooked on the stove instead.

      • Very random not related question – Do you have a strawberry rhubarb recipe? We have a small rhubarb crop in our backyard (from previous owner). And we want to harvest it to make into a pie. No worries if not. I can Google but thought I’d ask you since you have lots of good ones.

    • How funny! I really hope I can give you more. These next few days I am going to try and figure out the new editor. I am not computer savvy and I don’t know if I can figure this out…ugh! So if there are no new posting by the 1st I may be done. 😢

    • My husband made this one day for the grandkids when I was going out to dinner. It looked and smelled so good I had to have him make it for me! Yes, he made this!!!
