Instructions

Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
In a bowl, mix ground beef with cumin, garlic powder, and chili powder until well combined.
Shape the mixture into four equal burger patties.
Cook the patties on the skillet for about 4 minutes per side or until they reach desired doneness.
On one half of each tortilla, place a cooked patty and top generously with cheese. Fold over to create a half-moon shape.
Return the assembled quesadillas to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 2 minutes each).
Serve with sour cream.

Notes

For added flavor, incorporate grilled onions or peppers inside your quesadilla burgers.
Substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a lighter option or use plant-based meat for a vegetarian version.
