3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Mini Smashburger Quesadillas

Prepping the Burger Patties

Begin by dividing the ground beef into small portions. Lightly season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gently form into small, flat patties that will fit perfectly inside the tortillas.

Cooking the Smashburger Patties

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Place the mini patties onto the skillet and use a spatula to smash them down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Mini Smashburger Quesadillas

Lay a tortilla flat and place a cooked burger patty on one half. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheeses. Add any optional toppings like pickles or onions if desired. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.

Cooking the Cheesy Quesadillas

In a clean skillet, lightly oil or spray the surface. Cook the assembled quesadillas over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Mini Smashburger Quesadillas

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet until crispy and heated through. For best results, avoid microwaving to retain the crispiness of the tortillas.
