How to Make Beef Pepper Jack Quesadillas

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb of ground beef. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 tbsp creole seasoning, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink.
  3. Lay out 4 large flour tortillas on a clean surface.
  4. Evenly divide 2 cups of shredded pepper jack cheese among the tortillas, keeping the cheese on one half of each tortilla.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese over the pepper jack cheese on each tortilla.
  6. Evenly distribute the cooked beef over the cheese on each tortilla.
  7. Fold each tortilla in half, creating a half-moon shape.
  8. Lightly spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  9. Carefully place the quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the skillet and cut each quesadilla in half. Serve immediately with sour cream, if desired.
