Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
2 tbsp taco seasoning
⅓ cup onion diced
¼ cup red bell pepper diced
2 garlic cloves minced
12 flour tortillas 6” (I only used 11 but you may need 12)
3 cups shredded cheese monterey jack and cheddar; divided
1 tbsp olive oil

Toppings:

Pico de gallo
Cilantro
Jalapeno
Avocado

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F and spray a 9x13 baking sheet with nonstick spray.
Next, cook the beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Then, add the taco seasoning, onion, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft; remove from the heat.
Place two tortillas in the center of the baking sheet, then line 6 other tortillas around them.
Sprinkle 1 ½ cups of the cheese in the center of the tortillas, then top with all of the beef mixture followed by the remaining 1 ½ cups of cheese.
Fold the outer tortillas in toward the center, ensuring none of the filling spills out. Place 2-4 tortillas on top to help everything stay together, then brush all of the tortillas with the olive oil.
Place a similar-size baking sheet on top to help hold everything down, then place the quesadilla in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until slightly golden on top.
Slice the quesadilla into 8 individual slices, sprinkle with any toppings you’d like and enjoy!

Notes

NOTE: folding the tortillas is a little tricky; the tortillas placed on top are key to help hold the sides down.
