I can’t wait for you to try this. This burger is so flavorful and different from your typical burger and fries. All seasoning used was from Badia Spices and can usually be found at your local grocery store.

INGREDIENTS  

• 8 Corn Tortillas
• ½-1 cup Shredded Cheese
• ½ Bell Pepper, Diced
• ½ White Onion, Diced
• 4 tbsp Pico De Gallo
• 2 tsp Fajita Seasoning
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Pepper
• ½ tsp Garlic Power
• ½-1 LB Ground Beef or 2 premade patties
• olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS 

• In a small bowl, combine fajita seasoning, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• If using pre-made patties, season both sides well. If using ground beef, mix seasoning in with the ground beef and form two patties. Set aside.
• Heat a griddle or pan over medium-high heat and place burgers in pan once hot. Place the burger patties in the hot pan, leaving a little space between each one and cook for 3 to 5 minutes each side. Move on to next step while burgers are cooking.
• In a separate pan, using a flat top frying pan or square griddle, spray with non-stick spray or lightly grease.
• Heat pan over medium heat. One hot, add a drizzle of olive oil on one corner and add peppers and onions. Sauté for 2 minutes until peppers and onions begin to soften and then on the other side of pan, lay out 2-4 corn tortillas (depending on size) and top with cheese. NOTE: you need 4 tortillas per burger. in this step, you need to lay out half of the tortillas you plan on using. For example, if you have one burger you need to lay out 2 tortillas at this step. 2 burgers = 4 tortillas etc.
• Cook tortillas for about 2 minutes and then top with peppers, onions, more cheese and the top tortilla. Flip the mini quesadilla and cook for 2-4 minutes on the other side. Each side should be golden brown and crispy.
• Once done, remove from heat. At this time, the burgers should also be done cooking.
• Assemble by placing one quesadilla on a plate, adding a burger, topping with 2 tbsp. of fresh Pico and finishing with another quesadilla. Enjoy! PS. don’t burn yourself on the cheese
