Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for approximately 3 minutes.
  2. While the skillet is heating, take hand-sized portions of ground beef and press them onto one half of each flour tortilla. Season the beef.
  3. Gently place the tortillas beef-side down in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes until the beef is browned.
  4. Once the beef is cooked, flip the tortillas carefully. Sprinkle cheese over the cooked side and fold the tortilla in half.
  5. Continue grilling the folded tortillas for an additional 2–3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
  6. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges.
