INGREDIENTS
1 lb. ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, minced
1 tsp. chili powder
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. vegetable oil, divided
8 Small flour tortillas
1 1/2 c. shredded Cheddar

DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, garlic, jalapeño, and chili powder.
Season with salt and pepper and mix until just combined.
2. Shape mixture into four large, thin patties. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large
skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the patties and cook
until cooked to your desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side.
3. Set aside burgers and wipe skillet clean. In the same skillet over medium
heat, heat remaining tablespoon oil. Add one flour tortilla and top with
cheddar, Monterey Jack and lettuce.
4. Place one cooked burger on top then sprinkle more cheese and top with pico
de gallo. Drizzle with sour cream then place a second tortilla on top. Cook
until the bottom tortilla is golden, about 2 minutes.
5. Carefully flip quesadilla and cook until the other side is golden, about 2 more
minutes. Repeat with remaining ingredients and burgers. Serve immediately.
