QUESADILLA BURGERS



Quesadilla Burgers image

This is a great twist on the hamburger that everyone is sure to love! It's a combination of southwest and the classic American hamburger. I have three kids who all eat very differently from one another and this was a hit for them as well as hubby! I like to serve these with either sweet potato fries or green bean fries!

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup sour cream
¼ cup ranch dressing
¼ cup taco sauce
4 (4 ounce) hamburger patties
1 dash Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
½ head lettuce, shredded, or to taste
3 tablespoons picante sauce, or to taste

Steps:

  • Mix sour cream, ranch dressing, and taco sauce together in a bowl until Southwest sauce is smooth. Cover bowl and refrigerate for flavors to blend.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Cook hamburger patties in the preheated grill for 5 minutes, seasoning with Worcestershire sauce. Flip patties. Arrange tortillas on the grill and lower heat to medium-low under tortillas. Add Cheddar cheese and Colby-Jack cheese to tortillas; cook until cheeses melt, 2 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking hamburger patties until cooked through, about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • Spread Southwest sauce onto 1/2 of the tortillas; top with lettuce and picante sauce. Place 1 hamburger patty on top of picante sauce layer and top patty with a tortilla, creating a sandwich.

QUESADILLA BURGERS



Quesadilla Burgers image

The concept of using quesadillas as a bun is genius. They add a cheesy crunch to the delicious burger. The meat itself is moist and full of taco flavor. The fresh pico on top is a burst of flavor while the ooey gooey pepper jack cheese is perfection. These are definitely decadent... and delicious!

Time 45m

Yield 4 quesadilla burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean ground beef
1/8-1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning or 3/4 teaspoon salt
8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 1/2 cups chihuahua cheese, shredded
1/2 cup pico de gallo or 1/2 cup chunky salsa, very well-drained
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
olive oil, for frying burgers and brushing tortillas
sour cream, as desired

Steps:

  • With your hands, combine the ground beef with the spices (red pepper through adobo seasoning/salt). Divide the meat into four same-sized portions, then form each into a burger patty. You want thin, very flat and very round burgers.
  • Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each patty for 5-10 minutes (until desired doneness), flipping once halfway through. Alternately, you can grill or broil the burgers. Set patties aside when done and keep warm.
  • Wipe down the skillet and return to heat. Brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil. Place tortilla oiled-side down onto hot skillet. Place 3 tablespoons of cheese on the tortilla, leaving same space empty near the edges. Top the cheese with 2 tablespoons of pico de gallo, then top with a burger patty. Now, top the burger with 1 tablespoon chopped jalapenos and then 3 tablespoons of cheese. Finally, place another tortilla on the quesadilla with the oiled-side facing you.
  • Cook until the bottom of the tortilla is browned and cheese is fully melted, about 1-2 minutes. Flip, and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all quesadillas are constructed and cooked.
  • Cut each each quesadilla in half and serve right away with a bit of sour cream. Serve alongside rice & beans for a complete and satisfying meal.
