Can you make them ahead of time?

These folded quesadillas are best cooked and enjoyed straight away, but you can easily make the beef taco filling 2 or 3 days ahead of time and keep it covered in the fridge.

Leftovers will keep well for a couple of days in the fridge in an airtight container and can be reheated in a skillet or in a toaster oven until the cheese melts.

What can I use instead of beef?

You can easily make this recipe with ground turkey, chicken or pork if you prefer. You can also cook leftover shredded rotisserie chicken with the spices and use that. Make them vegetarian by using plant-based meat crumbles.

What do you serve them with?

I like to serve my foldover quesadilla with some guacamole or salsa for dipping and a garnish of cilantro for some freshness. If you want to serve them for a larger meal, then you can’t go wrong with some shoestring fries or just a nice fresh salad.

Tips!

  • Fold the tortilla in half, and then in half again, so you can see the quarters where you should place the filling.
  • Use a good melting cheese for this recipe as this acts as the glue to hold the tortillas together.
  • Take care not to overload the fillings or they will spill out when you fold them.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • ½ cup shredded queso cheese
  • ½ cup pico de gallo
  • ¼ cup Sour cream
  • Fresh cilantro as garnish

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Drain and set aside. Wash the pan and return to the stove over medium high heat.

  • Lay tortilla flat. Fold in half to create a seam in the tortilla marking the middle. Unfold, and make a small cut to the center of the tortilla.

  • Imagine the tortilla is split into 4 equal sections. Add a couple spoonfuls of the taco meat into one section, cheese to another, sour cream to the next, and finally pico de gallo to the last section.

  • Starting with the bottom left quadrant, fold the tortilla up and over the top left, then the top right, then the bottom right.

  • Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Add quesadillas and cook for 3 minutes per side.

  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQs

How to cut a wrap to make a quesadilla? ›

The challenge? They're slapping each other in the face with a tortilla wrap. The pair play a round of rock, paper, scissors and whoever wins gets to slap the other with a tortilla. To win the game, they must both try and hold the water in for as long as possible and through each tortilla slap.

What is the hack for quesadillas? ›

The idea is simple: Instead of layering all your ingredients in one big pile atop a tortilla, put each one in its own quadrant. Then fold the four corners on top of each other to create one perfectly mess-free (but melty, crisp, and golden brown) triangular quesadilla in practically zero time.

How do you make quesadillas stick together? ›

You need to have cheese on both ends of the tortilla so it glues the ingredients together. Just like a stuffed grilled cheese! Not to mention, it's quesadilla math. The quesadilla I'm sharing below uses my turkey taco meat and I add beans, salsa, my quick pico and cheddar and monterey jack.

How to seal the edges of a quesadilla? ›

How do you seal the edges of quesadillas? While the melted cheese should be more than enough to keep your quesadilla together, some prefer tightly sealed edges that prevent even the smallest amount of filling from escaping. To achieve this, simply dampen the edges of the tortilla with a bit of water before folding it.

What size tortillas for quesadillas? ›

When using store-bought tortillas I prefer using flour tortillas for quesadillas — you can usually find the larger 9- or 10-inch size, which makes them easier to handle. They also fold easier without splitting or crumbling. If you prefer corn tortillas, choose high-quality soft tortillas for best results.

How do I order a TikTok quesadilla? ›
