Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 oz. crumbled bleu cheese*
  • 1 large sweet onion diced
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • garlic powder
  • 2 T Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas**
  • lettuce
  • tomato slices
  • salad dressing optional

Instructions
 

  • Saute tortillas with a little olive oil over medium high heat until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
  • Add a little more olive oil to pan and cook onion until transparent. Add beef and continue to saute until brown, using spoon to crumble beef while cooking. Drain excess fat. Add Worcestershire sauce, a dash or two of garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay 4 tortillas on a baking sheet. Top with a layer of crumbled bleu cheese. Divide beef between tortillas and make an even layer. Top with remaining cheese. Top with remaining 4 tortillas. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese has melted and quesadillas are golden. Carefully cut into 1/4s. Serve with lettuce and tomato on the side, drizzled with salad dressing if desired. Serves 4

Notes

*I used packaged bleu cheese crumbles for ease as well as a more uniform crumble size, but I always recommend crumbling and grating cheese from the block if possible, for the best flavor
**NOTE: If you don’t want to precook your tortillas, brush or spray them with olive or canola oil before baking. Turn quesadillas half way through cooking and oil the other side and continue to bake until done
