Baked Quesadilla
This was interesting and actually pretty good. A way to make a baked quesadilla.
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. smoked paprika
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
8 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
2 green onions for garnish (optional, I didn't use this time)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the bell peppers and onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook thoroughly, breaking up as you go. Drain the fat then stir in the spices (I used Pampered Chef Southwestern Seasoning instead the chili powder and cumin)
On a sheet pan, arrange 6 tortillas around the edge of the pan so that about half of each tortilla hangs over the side. Place another tortilla in the center to cover the pan completely. Then top with the ground beef, pepper, onions, cheeses and top with the green onions if desired. Place another tortilla in the very center on top of all the fillings and then fold each tortilla in towards the center. Place a second baking sheet on top of the tortillas (this is to help press down the quesadilla while it is cooking) and bake for about 20 minutes. The quesadilla should be turning crispy. Remove the top baking sheet and continue to bake until it is golden and heated through - about 15 minutes more.
