Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
- ¼ cup Dill Pickles, chopped
- 4 Burrito Size Tortillas (10 inch)
- 2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
Special Sauce
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons Ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Pickles
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Onion
- 2 Teaspoons White Vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat the Blackstone Grill over medium high heat, approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit, to achieve an ideal cooking surface for grilling the beef and tortillas.
- Cook Ground Beef: Place the ground beef on the preheated Blackstone grill. Brown it thoroughly over medium high heat until it is no longer pink and is evenly browned. Season the beef with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Prepare Special Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, minced pickles, minced onion, and white vinegar. Stir well until the sauce is smooth and all ingredients are incorporated uniformly.
- Place Tortillas on Grill: Lay the burrito-sized tortillas flat onto the Blackstone grill to warm and prepare for assembly.
- Assemble Quesadilla: Spread the prepared special sauce onto half of each tortilla. Then layer ground beef, chopped dill pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sauce-covered side.
- Cook and Fold: Fold the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Grill until the bottom side turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the cheese melts and the quesadilla is crispy on both sides.
- Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the grill. Slice each into 4 pieces and serve warm to enjoy the melty, savory goodness.
Notes
- Use a Blackstone griddle or similar flat-top grill for best results; a stovetop griddle or large skillet can be substituted if needed.
- Ensure the grill is properly preheated to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of pickles according to your taste preference for tanginess.
- Adding a splash of hot sauce to the special sauce can add a nice kick if desired.
- This quesadilla is best enjoyed immediately for optimal crispiness and melty texture.
