Description

A delicious twist on the classic Big Mac, these quesadillas are loaded with ground beef, cheese, and special sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
  • ½ tablespoon dill pickle (minced)
  • ½ tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 pound ground beef (medium)
  • 1 yellow onion (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 8-inch tortillas
  • 4 cups cheddar cheese (shredded or as desired)
  • 2 cups lettuce (shredded or as desired)
  • 4 pickles (sliced or as desired)

Instructions

  1. Make your Big Mac sauce by adding all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan on medium heat and cook ground beef for 5 minutes.
  3. Strain out some excess fat, then add onion, salt and pepper. Cook for a couple more minutes until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink. Set aside in a bowl.
  4. Clean pan and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Reduce the heat to low, add your tortilla into the pan and working quickly add your items to half of the tortilla.
  5. Place ½ cup cheese, ¼ of the meat mixture, ½ cup lettuce, pickle slices, and about 3 tablespoons of sauce, then another ½ cup of cheese.
  6. Fold the empty side over and cook until cheese is melted and golden brown. Carefully flip and do the same to the other side.
  7. Repeat for the other 3 and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use medium to low heat to prevent the tortillas from burning.
  • Customize the toppings according to your preference.
