# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
3 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces
02 -
1 pound ground beef
03 -
1/2 cup chopped onion
04 -
2 tablespoons tomato paste
05 -
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
06 -
1 teaspoon mustard
07 -
2 ounces cream cheese
08 -
5 tortillas (regular, low-carb, or gluten-free)
09 -
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cook bacon pieces in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels, leaving a thin layer of fat in the pan.
02 -
In the same skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat, breaking up the meat, until beef is cooked through and onions are softened. Drain excess fat.
03 -
Reduce heat to low. Add bacon, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and cream cheese. Stir until smooth and well blended.
04 -
Sprinkle cheddar over one half of each tortilla. Spoon beef mixture on top, fold tortillas into half-moons, and press lightly to seal.
05 -
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat with a light coat of oil or butter. Cook quesadillas until golden and crisp, 2–3 minutes per side. Rest briefly before slicing.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for best results.
02 -
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef, or use dairy-free cheese alternatives for dietary needs.
03 -
Sprinkle extra cheddar on the outside of tortillas before cooking for a crispy cheese crust.
