Steps:
- Gently shape beef into 4 balls, shaping just enough to keep together (do not compact). In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Working in batches, add beef. With a heavy metal spatula, flatten to 1/4- to 1/2-in. thickness. Cook until edges start to brown, about 1-1/2 minutes. Turn burgers; cook until well browned and a thermometer reads at least 160°, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining beef. Remove from skillet; wipe skillet clean., Combine mayonnaise and salsa; reserve half for serving. Spread remaining mixture over tortillas. On the center of each tortilla, place 1 slice cheese, 1 burger and 1 tostada shell. Fold sides of tortilla over burger; fold top and bottom to close, pleating as you go., In batches, place wraps in skillet, seam side down. Cook on medium heat 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve with remaining sauce.

SMOKEHOUSE BURGER
Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high; wait until grill reaches 400 degrees F.
- Sprinkle the patties on both sides with the salt and pepper. (We suggest aggressively, as most will sweat off the patties during cooking.)
- Cook the patties for 5 minutes, then flip.
- Place Pork Belly on grill. Brush the butter on the brioche buns and place on grill. Toast until it reaches the desired color (we like it a little darker for more of a char taste).
- Flip pork belly after 2 minutes, then place Cheddar on the patties to melt.
- Remove brioche buns from grill and spread Whiskey Aioli on all inside bun areas.
- Place patties on bun bottoms, then top with tomatoes and the bun tops. Let rest for 4 minutes, then devour.
- Preheat a smoker to 240 degrees F.
- Mix chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder and pepper in a bowl until well combined, then reserve.
- Score the pork belly on the fat side with a sharp knife 1/2-inch apart, being careful to not cut into the meat. Turn the meat 90 degrees and repeat, forming a crosshatch pattern. Cut belly into five 3- to 4-inch-wide pieces.
- Rub all sides of the pork belly with the reserved rub.
- Place in smoker and cook for 3 hours. Remove from smoker and place in a pan to collect fat.
- Starting from cold, reduce whiskey by half in a saute pan over medium heat. (Be very careful, as it can catch fire. Do not attempt to blow out if this occurs. Remove from heat and cover with a metal lid to extinguish the fire.)
- Pour reduction in a bowl and place in refrigerator to cool, 10 minutes.
- Place mayonnaise, lime juice, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Add whiskey reduction to bowl and mix.
- Place aioli back into refrigerator until needed.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your quesadillas. Look for fresh, flavorful cheese, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce.
- Season your meat well: The meat is the star of the show in these quesadillas, so make sure to season it generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices.
- Cook the meat properly: The meat should be cooked to your desired doneness, but make sure not to overcook it, or it will become tough and dry.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is what will bind all of the ingredients together and create that gooey, melted goodness. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack.
- Don't overload the quesadillas: If you overload the quesadillas, they will be difficult to fold and cook evenly. Stick to a thin layer of ingredients so that the quesadillas are easy to handle and cook.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help to prevent the tortillas from burning and will allow the cheese to melt evenly.
Conclusion:
Smokehouse burger quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give these smokehouse burger quesadillas a try.
