Ingredients:

• 500g ground beef (extra lean preferred)
• 350g shredded cheese blend
• 6 flour tortillas (8-inch diameter)
• 2 tbsp unsalted beef stock
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Preparation:

Stage 1: Preheat your oven to 200°F to keep the quesadillas warm.

Stage 2: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Stage 3: Combine ground beef with chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 10 minutes, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Add tomato paste and beef stock, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Stage 4: Remove the beef from the skillet and drain any excess oil.

Stage 5: Spread 2 cups of shredded cheese on one side of each tortilla. Save the remaining cheese.

Stage 6: Layer the cooked ground beef over the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top. Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape.

Stage 7: Working in batches, spray a pan with cooking spray and cook the quesadillas over medium-low heat for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Ensure they don’t burn.

Stage 8: Place cooked quesadillas on a baking sheet in the preheated oven to keep warm while cooking the remaining batches.

Stage 9: Cut each quesadilla in half and serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for extra flavor.
