Quesadillas!


This is a simple, easy meal, and it's great for busy nights. It doesn't take very long. And I think it's pretty tasty. :)

Ingredients:
Tortillas (two per quesadilla)
Shredded cheese (I use colby jack)
Ground beef
Taco seasoning (or cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder)
Water
Butter

Directions:
Cook the ground beef over medium/medium high heat until no longer pink. Drain. Put back in the pan, with about 1/2 cup water and taco seasoning. Cook until the water and seasonings have been absorbed by the meat.

Heat a large skillet, or flat griddle, to medium heat. Butter one side of a tortilla, and place butter side down in heated skillet/griddle. Put a layer of cheese on the tortilla, then a layer of meat, then another layer of cheese. Butter one side of another tortilla, and then place the non-buttered side on the cheese. When the cheese has melted slightly, and the bottom tortilla is starting to brown, flip the whole thing so the top tortilla is down on the bottom. When the second tortilla is browned and the cheese is melted all the way through, remove the quesadilla. Cut it in fourths and serve with salsa, sour cream, quacamole, or anything else in which you'd like to dip it. Enjoy!
