How to prepare Juicy Blackstone Quesadilla Burger

Making the Juicy Blackstone Quesadilla Burger is straightforward and quick. Just gather your ingredients, follow the steps below, and you’re in for a delicious treat!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend) 🥩
• 4 large flour tortillas 🌯
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 🧀
• 1/2 cup special sauce (e.g., mayonnaise, ketchup, and spices) 🍯
• Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
• Cooking oil for grilling 🛢️

Instructions:

1. Prepare the burger patties: In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide it into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
2. Cook the patties: Preheat the Blackstone griddle over medium heat, add a little cooking oil, and then cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred doneness.
3. Melt the cheese: In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
4. Prepare the tortillas: Take one tortilla and place a cheesy burger patty in the center. Drizzle with your special sauce. Top with another tortilla.
5. Grill the quesadilla burger: Add a bit more oil to the griddle, then carefully place the quesadilla burger on it. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
6. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the griddle, cut into wedges, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
