# Ingredients:

→ Quesadilla Filling

01 - 2 medium flour tortillas
02 - 1/2 lb ground beef
03 - 1/2 tsp salt
04 - 1/2 tsp pepper
05 - 1/2 tsp paprika
06 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
07 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
08 - 1 cup shredded cheese
09 - chopped pickles (optional)
10 - chopped tomatoes (optional)

→ Burger Sauce

11 - 2 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise
12 - 1 1/2 Tbsp ketchup
13 - 1 tsp pickle juice
14 - 1/2 Tbsp pickles, chopped
15 - 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
16 - 1/4 tsp paprika

# Steps:

01 - In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle juice, chopped pickles, ground black pepper, and paprika until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
02 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart as it browns. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and optionally drain the fat to prevent overly greasy quesadillas.
03 - Fold the tortillas in half, pressing gently to seal the edges. Place in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
04 - Remove the quesadillas from the heat and slice into portions. Serve with extra burger sauce and optional burger toppings of your choice.
