One of my favorite burritos from Burrito-Ville, a nearby restaurant at Southeast Missouri State University, served as the model for this cheeseburger quesadilla. Some of the strangest burritos I’ve ever eaten are a specialty of Burrito-Ville. I’ve tried every style of burrito they have, from the BBQ chicken to the Buffalo, but they only have one kind of quesadilla. So I made the decision to convert my favorite there, the cheeseburger burrito, into quesadilla style. I refer to this as my most recent culinary achievement, which is served with fries and a Coke. Serve with more mustard, ketchup, and relish.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter
- ½ small yellow onion, chopped
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- cooking spray
- 8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Colby cheese
- 4 teaspoons ketchup, or to taste
- 4 teaspoons yellow mustard, or to taste

Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain liquid from beef, and let sit for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a griddle or flat pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Place 1 tortilla on the hot griddle, top with some of the Colby cheese, 1/4 of the beef mixture, 1 teaspoon ketchup, 1 teaspoon mustard, and 1 teaspoon relish. Top with more Colby cheese and 1 tortilla. Flatten the quesadilla with your hand.
- Flip quesadilla with a spatula and cook until browned and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Cut quesadilla into 4 pieces. Repeat with remaining tortillas, ground beef, cheese, ketchup, mustard, and relish.

Reviews
Everyone liked these but I had trouble getting the quesadilla to stay together. I had to flip them using two spatulas to keep them together and we weren’t able to eat them with our hands.
This is bomb and easy AF! My husband and kids approve and it’s ready in a snap
Fun, easy and delicious. Everybody loved them.
These were sooooo good! My family loved them! Will pass this recipe along to my friends!
For being a kid type food, my husband and I liked these the best. Next time I will let the kids choose there own condiments. We will making these again.
My family didn’t really like this recipe too much. There were too many flavors that didn’t flatter each other.
This was a quick, easy & tasty switch up to the classic burger! Cut recipe in half & subbed chopped dill pickles for relish. Served with a side of baked onion rings. Yum! Will definitely make again…and again!
This will be a go-to recipe for sure! I’ll freeze the hamburger in small containers to have on hand. The only thing I did differently was I folder over the large tortilla and cut up instead of putting the second one on to
This was quite good! My husband gave this recipe a thumbs up. Very filling. For 2 people I cut the recipe in 1/2. You will not go away hungry! Using 1 lb. of hamburger made four 6″ quesadillas. I didn’t have any sweet relish, so I cut up dill pickles. I also just squeezed some ketchup and mustard on the quesadilla which was easier for me. To knock it up a notch, I did add a 1/4 tsp. of cumin to spice it up and used 6 inch homemade tortillas!
