How to Make Beef And Green Chile Quesadillas
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef and 1/2 medium onion, chopped, over medium heat. Break up the beef with a spoon until crumbly, about 8-10 minutes, or until no longer pink.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Season the beef mixture with 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
- Stir in 1 cup of your favorite salsa and 1 (4 ounce) can of chopped green chiles (drained). Add 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred Mexican blend).
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture onto one half of each of 6-8 (6-inch) flour tortillas.
- Fold the tortillas in half to enclose the filling.
- Lightly spray two baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Arrange the quesadillas on the prepared baking sheets.
- Lightly spray the tops of the quesadillas with cooking spray.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For more even browning, rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking.
- Let cool slightly, then use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice each quesadilla into wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
