Cooking

- Place one tortilla on the heated skillet and sprinkle half a cup of cheese on one half of the tortilla.
- Spoon some of the beef mixture on top of the cheese, and add pickles if desired.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling and press gently with a spatula.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and beef mixture.
- Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
