Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef (80–90% lean)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
6 large flour tortillas (8–10 inch)
1 small red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons homemade seasoning)
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for pan-frying)

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
Stir in garlic and taco seasoning, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add diced red onion, bell peppers, and corn. Sauté for another 3–4 minutes until veggies soften slightly.
Lay flour tortillas flat. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on one half of each tortilla.
Spoon beef and veggie mixture over the cheese, then top with more cheese.
Fold tortillas in half and press gently to seal.
Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook quesadillas for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Let rest 1–2 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve hot with your favorite dips.
