- 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.
- Preheat Your Equipment: Fire up your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Give it 5–10 minutes to fully preheat.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Shape into four equal burger patties.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cook to Perfection: Press gently with your spatula and cook until the tortilla is golden and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes per side.
- Finishing Touches: Spread mayo, ketchup, and mustard inside before folding (or serve on the side). Let rest a minute before cutting.
- 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.
