TACO QUESADILLA (TIKTOK TORTILLA HACK)
If you haven't noticed I've been on a huge TikTok hack train lately and I'm loving these TORTILLA HACKS - especially this Taco Quesadilla. It's basically just a different way of filling and folding a large tortilla. We've been playing around with these and coming up with different combinations. This one takes your usual taco ingredients and folds them up into this easy handheld meal. These are really a lot of fun to do and taste great!
TIPS AND TRICKS TO MAKE A TACO QUESADILLA:
- You'll want to use the large burrito-sized tortillas for these.
- Use any kind of tortilla flavor that you like, white, wheat, spinach, sun-dried tomato, low carb, etc. There are a lot of options these days.
- You can top these with any ingredients you like. Some other options include: avocado, queso fresco, black beans or cilantro.
- This would also be good with taco seasoned chicken!
- You can easily double this recipe to make more, depending on how many people you are serving.
- You can use any cheese that you like for this recipe! Pepper jack is a good cheese to use if you want a kick of spice.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- ground beef
- taco seasoning
- water
- onion
- tomatoes
- cheese
- tortillas
HOW TO MAKE A TACO QUESADILLA:
In a medium skillet, cook and crumble the ground beef until no pink remains. Drain excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and water and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Slice the bottom half of the tortilla with a knife to create a flap.
Divide tortilla into 4 triangles. Add taco meat to one section, cheese to the other, onion to the next and freshly diced tomatoes to the last section. You will use about ½ cup taco meat, ½ cup cheese, ¼ cup tomatoes and onion.
Grabbing the cut part of the tortilla, fold the cheese section onto the beef section.
Then fold that section onto the onion portion.
Lastly, for the final bit, fold that section onto the tomatoes. You will have a triangle shape with four pockets when you are done.
In a medium skillet, spray with nonstick spray or add tablespoon of butter (for more flavor.) Place the tortilla triangle and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese melts and the tortilla browns slightly.
Remove and repeat with remaining quesadillas.
Serve with your favorite toppings and dipping sauces and enjoy!
HOW TO STORE:
These are best the day that they are made and I don't recommend storing them after making. If you have some leftover, you can place them in a ziptop bag and place in the refrigerator for 1-2 days at most. Reheat in pan or in the microwave.

Loved these quesadillas. The only change I made was that I used a grocery store fresh prepped Pico De Gallo in place of the diced tomatoes. Being folded into triangles, I could cook 6 small in the skillet at 1 time.
