Calories: 259kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 packet original taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 Tbsp. salted butter, melted
- 8 burrito-size flour tortillas
- 1 16-oz. can refried beans
- 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
- 1 7-oz. can diced green chiles
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 cup queso
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Brush your half sheet pan with half of the melted butter and then place the tortillas in the pan as pictured above.
- In a large skillet, cook your ground beef over medium-high heat breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon. When the beef is done browning you'll drain the grease and then add the taco seasoning and water and cook according to the taco seasoning packet directions. When the meat is done cooking, you'll remove it from the heat
- Spread your refried beans on top of the tortillas followed by half of the shredded cheese, the taco meat and the green chiles. After the green chiles, you will dollop with your salsa, the remainder of the shredded cheese and finally a few dollops of queso.
- You will place on the last flour tortilla in the center of the sheet pan and then fold up the remaining tortillas so that your filling is completely covered. Brush the remaining butter over the top of the tortillas and place another sheet pan on top of the tortillas making sure to press down firmly. Bake for 25 minutes until the inside is hot and entirely melted. Gently remove the top sheet pan and continue to bake for 4-5 minutes until the quesadillas are crispy on top.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares with a pizza cutter. Serve with extra salsa, queso and sour cream, if desired.
Notes
As mentioned above, if you're not a fan of refried beans you can just omit.
I used shredded cheddar jack cheese, but you can use whatever cheese you prefer.
You will need burrito-size tortillas for this recipe.
