Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
  • 2 scallions green ends sliced thinly
  • sour cream optional
  • salsa optional
  • salt and peppe to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Over medium heat, sauté bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, and garlic until soft, about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 6 minutes, breaking up the beef with a spoon or spatula. Drain any fat left in the pan and add chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.
  • On a sheet pan, overlap 6 tortillas around the edge to cover the entire pan. Place one tortilla in the center to ensure complete coverage. Top tortillas with ground beef, vegetables, cheese, and scallions.
  • Place the remaining tortilla in the center of the sheet pan and fold all the others towards the center. Place a second sheet pan on top and gently press down. Bake for 18-20 minutes, remove the top sheet pan, and bake for another 12-15 minutes or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
  • Slice the quesadilla and serve with sour cream and salsa.
