These cheesy quesadillas are fun to make and even more fun to eat – make sure to have some napkins on standby! Easily make these in the oven instead of using the grill: bake at 400° F for about 10 min, or until tortillas start to turn golden-brown.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450 g) lean ground beef
  • 2 cups corn kernels
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 pkg Ooey Gooey Queso Dip Mix
  • 1 12 cups milk, your choice
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 6 medium flour tortillas

Preparation

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile, in Round Steamer, crumble in beef. Cover; microwave on high 4 min. Once cooked, discard liquid. Use Ground Meat Separator to break up chunks of meat. Remove from steamer and place in a large bowl with corn.
  3. While the beef is cooking, thinly slice bell pepper.
  4. In same steamer (don’t wash) whisk together mix and milk. Microwave, uncovered on high for 4–5 min, whisking halfway through or until thickened. Stir in cheddar.
  5. Add half the sauce, about 3⁄4 cup, to beef and corn. Stir to combine.
  6. Divide meat mixture and peppers on one side of each tortilla. Fold tortilla over filling. Place on grill.
  7. Grill for 5 min, flipping halfway through, or until lightly charred.
  8. Serve with remaining sauce (reheat in microwave, if necessary).
