Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
8 Small flour tortillas
1 1/2 c. shredded Cheddar
1 1/2 c. Shredded Monterey Jack
1 1/2 c. Shredded lettuce
1 c. Pico de Gallo
Sour cream, for drizzling
Directions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic, jalapeño, and chili powder. Season with salt and pepper and mix until just combined.
Shape mixture into four large, thin patties. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the patties and cook until cooked to your desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side.
Set aside burgers and wipe skillet clean. In the same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining tablespoon oil. Add one flour tortilla and top with cheddar, Monterey Jack and lettuce.
Place one cooked burger on top then sprinkle more cheese and top with pico de gallo. Drizzle with sour cream then place a second tortilla on top. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden, about 2 minutes.
Carefully flip quesadilla and cook until the other side is golden, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients and burgers. Serve immediately.
