Description
Delicious Big Mac inspired quesadillas with a homemade sauce that brings the taste of fast food to your kitchen.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice
- ½ tablespoon dill pickle (minced)
- ½ tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 pound ground beef (medium)
- 1 yellow onion (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 4 8-inch tortillas
- 4 cups cheddar cheese (shredded or as desired)
- 2 cups lettuce (shredded or as desired)
- 4 pickles (sliced or as desired)
Instructions
- Make your Big Mac sauce by adding all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
- Heat a large pan on medium heat and cook ground beef for 5 minutes.
- Strain out some excess fat, then add onion, salt, and pepper. Cook for a couple more minutes until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink. Set aside in a bowl.
- Clean the pan and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Reduce the heat to low (maybe medium-low), add your tortilla into the pan and working quickly add your items to half of the tortilla.
- Place ½ cup cheese, ¼ of the meat mixture, ½ cup lettuce, pickle slices (I did 1 pickle per quesadilla) and about 3 tablespoons of sauce, then another ½ cup of cheese.
- Fold the empty side over and cook until cheese is melted and golden brown. Carefully flip and do the same to the other side.
- Repeat for the other 3 and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust cheese and toppings based on your preferences.
- These quesadillas are best served hot and fresh off the skillet.
