Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
1½ cups shredded cheddar or American cheese
2–3 tbsp maple syrup
4 large flour tortillas
Butter or spray for grilling
Optional: sliced pickles, mustard drizzle, or caramelized onions
Steps
In a skillet, cook ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat.
Mix in the cooked bacon and drizzle lightly with maple syrup until the mixture is evenly coated.
Lay the tortillas flat. On one half of each, layer cheese, the beef mixture, additional cheese, and any optional ingredients (e.g., pickles, mustard drizzle, or caramelized onions). Fold the tortillas in half.
Heat a buttered skillet over medium heat. Grill each quesadilla until golden and crispy on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Let the quesadillas cool slightly, cut into wedges, and serve with additional maple syrup or a dipping sauce of choice.
