Ingredients

For the Quesadillas

1 lb ground beef (80/20 for the best flavor)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
24 dill pickle chips (optional, for an authentic cheeseburger taste)
1 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking)

For the Special Sauce

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tbsp pickle juice
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt & black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Drain excess grease, then stir in salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.
Prepare the Special Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Set aside in the refrigerator while preparing the quesadillas.
Assemble the Quesadillas
- Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle ½ cup of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over one half.
- Add ¼ of the cooked beef and pickle slices (if using).
- Sprinkle another ½ cup of cheese, then fold the tortilla in half.
Cook the Quesadillas
- Heat ½ tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Slice and Serve
- Transfer to a cutting board and let cool for 1 minute.
- Slice into wedges and serve with special sauce on the side.

Notes

Want a spicy kick? Add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the quesadilla.
For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and lean ground turkey instead of beef.
Don’t overfill the tortillas—too much filling can make them hard to flip and cook evenly.
To make ahead, store cooked beef and sauce in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble and cook fresh for best results.
