Cheeseburger Quesadillas

It's been awhile since I've posted anything; school just started up and I got caught up in all the madness. I wanted to post this chicken pesto lasagna I was drooling over, but I totally messed up the noodles; lessoned learned, don't buy oven ready noodles. It was very sad because the mixture was amazing. We saved everything but the noodles and have been putting in a burrito and grilling it on the stove. Let me tell ya, that is one darn good burrito. Hopefully I'll get the chance to make it again and make it right, so I can share with you all.

Back to this recipe, this is not your average cheeseburger. But it sure is good. I of course found this on Pinterest which directed me to Tasty Kitchen. And boy was this tasty. It's very simple and oh so delicious. I enjoyed this because I would so much rather have a tortilla over a bun. This recipe is great; the good thing is you can add other toppings to it if you please and it would only taste better.

I hope y'all enjoy this as much as I do.

Ingredients

2 tbsp Olive Oil

1 whole Medium Onion

1 lb ground beef

2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

1/4 cups Ketchup

1/4 cups Real Bacon Bits

Salt and Pepper, to taste

2 tsp Garlic Powder

2 tsp Onion Powder

2 whole Large Flour Tortillas

2 cups Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese

Vegetable or Canola Oil, for brushing

Red Crushed Pepper Flakes, for sprinkling

Directions

Oven: 350
In a large skillet on medium high, heat the olive oil.
Add the onions and allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes until they become translucent.
Add the beef and break it up your cooking utensil.
Cook the beef and onions together for about 10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.
Once the beef is cooked add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, bacon bits, salt and pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
Stir until all is incorporated.
Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes.
On a large baking sheet, lay out the tortillas.
Take half of the burger mixture and spread it evenly on one half of each tortilla.
Top it with as much cheese as you like, then flip the other half on top of the burger mixture.
Brush the top with vegetable or canola oil and (if you're brave and love heat) sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tortilla shell becomes nice and crisp and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove it from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Cut into triangles once cooled.
You should get 4 large pieces from each folded tortilla.

Suggestions: If you do not like spice, I would not put any red pepper flakes on at all. We sprinkled just a little over the tortillas and you could definitely feel the kick of the flakes.
