Ingredients
  

  • 1 Lb. Ground Beef
  • 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion (Diced)
  • 1 Medium Bell Pepper (Diced)
  • ½ Tsp. Garlic Paste
  • 1 Packet Taco Seasoning
  • To Taste Salt and Pepper
  • 8 Pieces Tortillas (8 Inches)
  • 2 Cups Shredded Cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar or blend of both)
  • 2 Tbs. Tomato Paste
  • 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
  • Salsa, sour cream or avocado for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add ground beef and garlic. Then cook over medium-high heat until the beef is browned while breaking it up into small pieces.
  • Once the beef turned brown, add diced onion, bell pepper and cook until they are soft and tender.
  • Next add in tomato paste, taco seasoning, salt and pepper and cook for another 5 min or until the beef’s fully cooked and there is no water left. Keep aside to cool down.
  • In a pan, toss the tortillas one by one over slow to medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. Remember tortillas burn too quick so keep the flame towards slower side.
  • Now comes the Assembling Part! Place some cheese on one half of each tortilla. Spoon about ¼ cup of cooked beef on top and add more cheese. You can sprinkle over more seasonings of your choice.
  • Fold the tortillas in half moon shape to enclose the filling.
  • Grease a pan with vegetable oil and cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they're crispy and the cheese is melted.
  • Finally, Cut the quesadillas into halves and serve hot with your desired toppings.
