Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Dill pickle chips (optional)
- Iceberg lettuce wedges (optional)
- Cherry tomatoes (optional)
- Thinly sliced shallots (optional)
Instructions
- Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the special sauce. Refrigerate.
- Cook ground beef in a skillet with salt, pepper, and garlic powder until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Lay tortillas flat and add shredded cheese on half of each. Add cooked beef, optional pickles, and more cheese. Fold into half-moons.
- Cook each quesadilla in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and melted.
