Quesadilla Burgers!!! YUMMY :)

Saturday was a day where we felt like burgers, but we wanted a good homemade burger. I had heard my sister many times telling me how good her quesadilla burgers are so I wanted to try doing them myself. 

I had everything I needed so why not make the so yummy recipe. Well, Let's get it on!!!

Ingredients:

Quesadillas

2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup shredded Monterrey jack pepper cheese
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
diced onion
diced canned jalapeno (didn't use this)
bacon (cooked and crumbled)

Southwest Seasoning mix for burgers

2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
crushed red pepper flakes (I didn't use this)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Directions:

For burger patties:

Combine all seasoning ingredients. Use one heaping Tbsp. of seasoning mix per pound of hamburger meat. Mix into hamburger meat until well combined. Fry or grill.

Assembling the complete quesadilla burger:

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each tortilla. Put one tortilla, butter side down in the hot pan. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly onto the center of the tortilla in the pan- but not all the way to the edges. 
Put the tomato, onion, bacon and jalapeno over the cheese, add the cooked seasoned burger and cover with the other tortilla butter side up (like a grilled cheese sandwich). When the bottom is browned, about 45-90 seconds, flip the quesadilla and grill the other side. 
Remove the quesadilla from the pan and using a pizza cutter, cut through the middle. Serve.

I did some small changes on the recipe, you know how I like to add my own touch to things. One of the changes was not adding the jalapeno or red pepper flakes ( you can tell we don't like spice food) and it came out perfect. As you can see we ate it with some chips but you can serve it with fries or anything you'll like. My husband enjoyed them so much and I did too, we'll be making them again for sure. 

Have an awesome week!!!
