How to Make This Cheesy Ground Beef Taco Quesadillas Step-by-Step

Ever wonder how to turn a simple skillet of seasoned beef into something everyone wants first? This is where the fun starts. Warm your pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once it moves easily across the pan, add the ground beef and all the spices. Break the meat into small pieces as it cooks so the seasoning hits every bit. Keep going until the beef is fully browned.

Stir in the tomato paste and broth so everything comes together in a thick, smoky mixture. Let it cook for a minute or two, then remove it from the pan. If you see extra grease, drain it off so the quesadillas stay crisp later.

Lay out your tortillas and spread most of the cheese on one half of each one. Add the warm beef across the top, then finish with the remaining cheese. Fold each tortilla into a half-moon shape.

Heat a little vegetable oil in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add two quesadillas at a time and cook each side for about two minutes until golden. Take your time flipping so you keep the crisp edges intact. Keep the finished ones warm in a low oven while you cook the rest.
