• 5 g paprika

• 15 ml olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the ground beef to the pan. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for about 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well and cook for another minute to allow the flavors to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas

Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a generous layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla. Add a layer of the cooked beef mixture evenly on top of the cheese. Sprinkle a little more cheese over the beef for extra meltiness.

Fold the tortilla in half to form a semicircle. Repeat the same process with the remaining tortillas.

Step 3: Cook Until Golden

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one folded tortilla in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. The cheese should be fully melted and gooey inside.

Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

Step 4: Stack and Serve

Once all quesadillas are cooked, cut each one into halves or quarters. Stack them neatly on a serving plate for an impressive presentation. Serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.

• Serve with fresh tomato salsa or spicy marinara sauce.
