I have never eaten Applebees Quesadilla burgers but I can say that these burgers are awesome! You can adapt this to make as many burgers as you need. I used a little over a pound of hamburger for 4 burgers and had left over seasoning.

Categories     Meat

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup shredded monterey jack pepper cheese
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
diced onion
diced canned jalapeno
bacon (cooked and crumbled)
southwest seasoned hamburger (recipe follows)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 teaspoon salt (I didnt measure)
1 tablespoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • For hamburgers:.
  • Combine all seasoning ingredrients. Use one heaping Tblsp of seasoning mix per pound of hamburger meat. Mix into hamburger meat until well combined. Fry or grill. ( I used George Foreman grill).
  • Assembling the complete burger:.
  • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each tortilla. Put one tortilla, butter side down in the hot pan. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly onto the center of the tortilla in the pan- but not all the way to the edges. Put the tomato, onion, bacon and jalapeno over the cheese, add the cooked seasoned burger and cover with the other tortilla butter side up (like a grilled cheese sandwhich). When the bottom is browned, about 45-90 seconds, flip the quesadilla and grill the other side. Remove the quesidilla from the pan and using a pizza cutter, cut throught the middle. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Flour tortillas are the traditional choice for quesadillas, but you can also use whole wheat tortillas or even corn tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them, otherwise they may crack.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to quesadilla fillings. Some popular options include chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, vegetables, and cheese. You can also get creative and try different combinations of fillings.
  • Don't overcrowd the quesadillas. When you're filling the quesadillas, be sure not to overcrowd them, otherwise they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly.
  • Cook the quesadillas over medium heat. Medium heat is the best way to cook quesadillas. This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning and the fillings from overcooking.
  • Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings. Once the quesadillas are cooked, you can serve them with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Quesadillas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal or snack, and they can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of quesadillas that will keep your taste buds happy. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give quesadillas a try!
