Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Filling
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Add the diced onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they are translucent and soft, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula. Cook until it is browned and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir and let the seasoning cook briefly for about 30 seconds.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the diced tomatoes and both shredded cheeses.
Assembling the Quesadillas
- Wipe the skillet clean if needed and return it to medium-low heat. Place one tortilla in the pan.
- Spoon half the beef-and-cheese mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Spread it evenly but leave a 1/2 inch border.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling to form a half-moon, pressing gently with a spatula to seal.
- Cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side until crisp, another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges. Repeat the assembly and toasting with the second tortilla.
