Juicy Blackstone Quesadilla Burger

This Juicy Blackstone Quesadilla Burger is the ultimate mashup of a sizzling griddle burger and a cheesy quesadilla, packed with flavor, crunch, and melt-in-your-mouth satisfaction.

Ingredients

  • Ground Beef (80/20): 1½ pounds – delivers juicy, flavorful patties with the perfect fat ratio.
  • Flour Tortillas (8-inch): 8 – crispy exterior with enough size to hold the fillings.
  • Cheddar Cheese: 2 cups shredded – melts beautifully and gives sharp cheesy flavor.
  • Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup shredded – adds stretch and creaminess.
  • Red Onion: 1 small, thinly sliced – for bite and tang.
  • Lettuce: 1 cup shredded – brings freshness and crunch.
  • Tomato: 1 large, sliced – juicy contrast to the savory layers.
  • Mayonnaise: ¼ cup – creamy base for spreading.
  • Ketchup: 2 tbsp – sweetens the flavor profile.
  • Mustard: 1 tbsp – gives that familiar burger tang.
  • Salt: 1 tsp – essential for seasoning the meat.
  • Black Pepper: 1 tsp – adds a mild kick.
  • Garlic Powder: 1 tsp – rounds out the savory notes.
  • Butter or Oil: 2 tbsp – for crisping the tortillas on the griddle.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Fire up your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Give it 5–10 minutes to fully preheat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shape into four equal burger patties.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease the griddle surface with butter or oil. Place the patties on the hot surface and cook 4–5 minutes per side until nicely seared and cooked through.
  4. Assemble the Dish: On a clean part of the griddle, place tortillas. On half of each tortilla, sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella. Add a cooked burger patty, then layer with onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. Fold over like a quesadilla.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Press gently with your spatula and cook until the tortilla is golden and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Finishing Touches: Spread mayo, ketchup, and mustard inside before folding (or serve on the side). Let rest a minute before cutting.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice in half for the ultimate cross-section, serve with fries or chips.

Notes

  • Use a mix of cheeses for best melt and flavor.
  • Do not overload quesadillas to keep flipping clean and easy.
  • Let burgers rest before assembling to preserve juices.
  • Try flavored tortillas for an extra kick.
