Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onions
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

  • 4 large tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for cooking

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent.
  3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, diced pickles, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to make the special sauce.
  5. Spread the special sauce evenly on one side of each tortilla.
  6. Divide the ground beef mixture into four equal portions. Place one portion on top of the special sauce on one tortilla, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the ground beef.
  8. Place another tortilla on top to create a quesadilla.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining ground beef, cheese, and tortillas.
  10. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drizzle some vegetable oil onto the skillet or griddle.
  11. Carefully transfer one quesadilla onto the heated skillet or griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
  12. Repeat step 11 with the remaining quesadillas.
  13. Remove the quesadillas from the skillet or griddle and let them cool for a minute.
