Introduction

The Juicy Blackstone Quesadilla Burger is a flavorful fusion of a burger and quesadilla, offering a perfect blend of savory ground beef, tangy pickles, and melted cheddar cheese inside crispy tortillas. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for a satisfying lunch or casual dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 pound minced beef
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
• 4 large tortillas (10 inches)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles
• 1 tablespoon finely diced onion
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone Grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Add the ground beef and brown it until fully cooked and no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper while cooking.
2. Step 2: While the beef cooks, prepare the special sauce by mixing mayo, ketchup, finely chopped pickles, diced onion, and white vinegar in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
3. Step 3: Place the tortillas directly on the grill. On one half of each tortilla, spread a generous layer of the special sauce. Top the sauce with browned ground beef, chopped dill pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Step 4: Fold the tortillas in half to form quesadillas. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
5. Step 5: Remove the quesadillas from the grill and slice each into 4 pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Use a cast iron skillet or griddle if you don’t have a Blackstone Grill; it works just as well for browning and grilling.
• Add jalapeños or hot sauce to the special sauce for a spicy kick.
• Try swapping cheddar with pepper jack or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
• For extra crunch, add shredded lettuce or crispy bacon inside before folding.

Storage

Store any leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until warmed through and the cheese is melty again. Avoid overheating to maintain crispiness.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Quesadilla Burger

• 1 pound minced beef
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
• 4 large tortillas (10 inches)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

For the Special Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayo
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles
• 1 tablespoon finely diced onion
• 2 teaspoons white vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat the Grill and Brown the Ground Beef:
   Begin by preheating your Blackstone Grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400 degrees F. Once the grill is hot, add the ground beef and brown it until it’s completely cooked through and no longer pink. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor while cooking.
2. Prepare the Special Sauce:
   While the beef is browning, combine the mayo, ketchup, finely chopped pickles, diced onion, and white vinegar in a mixing bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the flavors meld together. Set the sauce aside for assembling the quesadillas.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
   Place the large tortillas directly onto the Blackstone Grill. On one half of each tortilla, spread a generous amount of the special sauce. Top the sauce with browned ground beef, sprinkle with chopped pickles for a tangy crunch, and then add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese for melted cheesiness.
4. Cook the Quesadillas:
   Fold each tortilla in half over the fillings to create a quesadilla. Cook each quesadilla until the bottom is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook the other side another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese inside has melted completely.
5. Slice and Serve:
   Remove the quesadillas from the grill once cooked to perfection. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each quesadilla into four pieces. Serve warm and enjoy this savory and cheesy quesadilla burger creation.

Notes

• Ensure the grill is fully preheated to achieve a crispy and nicely browned exterior on the quesadillas.
• Adjust seasoning of the beef as needed to suit your taste preferences.
• Feel free to swap cheddar cheese with your favorite melting cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
• This recipe works well on other flat top grills or even large skillets if a Blackstone Grill is not available.
• Serve with additional dipping sauces or fresh salsa for extra flavor.
