Crispy Oven-Baked Quesadillas

This recipe was inspired by the oven-baked quesadillas from How Sweet Eats. I made a batch of cheeseburger sliders as meal prep the other weekend, and I had some of the cheeseburger filling left over. So I decided to do a quick, easy and amazing dinner. 

These oven quesadillas had the texture of deep frying without the oil or the mess. We are excited to try this technique with more traditional fillings, but I'm sold on the cheeseburger version that I'm sharing here!

Cheeseburger Quesadillas
1/2 lb. hamburger
1/2 small onion
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. mustard
Salt and pepper
1 cup freshly shredded cheese
8 6-inch tortillas

Preheat oven to 400­°F. While the oven is heating, brown the meat with the onion, ketchup, onion, mustard, salt and pepper. 

Spray tortillas with non-stick spray on one side. Place sprayed side down on a baking sheet, and place hamburger mixture on half of each tortilla. Top evenly with cheese. Close the tortillas, so the filling is inside with the tortilla folded in half. 

Bake 10 minutes or until crispy on the top. You may need to reclose the tortillas if they pop open. Carefully flip each quesadilla and bake 5 more minutes or until thoroughly crispy on both sides. Serves 4.
