CHEESEBURGER QUESADILLA
Burritoville, a local joint down by Southeast University here, specializes in some of the oddest burritos I've ever tasted. From the BBQ chicken to the Buffalo burrito, I've had them all, but they've got only one type of quesadilla. So I've decided to take one of my favorite burritos from there, the cheeseburger burrito and apply it to quesadilla form. Served with a side of fries and a Coke®, it's what I call my most recent of culinary triumphs. Serve with a side of ketchup, yellow mustard, and sweet relish.

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:.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: Quesadillas are all about the cheese, so it's important to use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. We recommend using a Mexican cheese blend or a sharp cheddar cheese.
- Don't overload the quesadillas: If you overload the quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and will fall apart. Just use a thin layer of cheese and toppings.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: Medium heat will help the cheese melt evenly and prevent the tortillas from burning.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately: Quesadillas are best served immediately after they are cooked, when the cheese is still melted and gooey.
