6 flour tortillas, 8in
1 lb ground beef
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup red onion, diced
cooking spray

Steps:

1. In a skillet, cook the ground beef, adding seasoning salt and pepper, until completely cooked. Drain off the juices and place the beef in a medium-sized bowl.
2. Pour the two cheeses and onions into the bowl with the cooked hamburger meat and thoroughly mix. Place an equal amount of the cheeseburger mixture on each tortilla.
3. Fold each tortilla over to create a "half moon" and press down lightly.
4. Coat the skillet or griddle with cooking spray and warm to a medium heat. Lightly brown each quesadilla for two to three minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crisp.
5. Remove quesadillas from the pan and cut each into 3 wedges. Serve with your favorite cheeseburger fixings like lettuce, tomatoes and pickles.
Hints:.
1. Substitute extra lean ground beef, chicken or turkey for the regular ground beef called for above to make these quesadillas leaner.
2. If you are looking to reduce the fat and cholesterol in your family's diet, choose a skim milk or fat free variety of cheese.
