• 2-3 lbs. ground beef
• 1 can corn
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2-3 packets taco seasoning
• 1 jar salsa
• 3 cups cheese
• 12 tortillas (big or small)
• Olive oil

Instructions:

1. Dice onion
2. For each pound of beef, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a skillet and heat on medium.
3. Once oil is hot (shimmering), add in half the diced onion
4.  Sauté until golden, 3-5 minutes
5. Push onions to the side in the pan and add the ground beef to the center of the pan. Let beef sear (brown) before crumbling with a wooden spoon and browning all the way through. (Drain/remove any grease if needed.)
6. Reduce the heat and add in 1 cup of salsa, 1 packet of taco seasoning and 1 cup of corn per 1 pound of ground beef.
7. Mix and stir and cook on low until salsa juice has cooked into beef (make sure mixture is not too watery/runny).
8. Assemble. Divide cheese and ground beef mixture evenly to a tortilla
9. Lightly oil a non-stick pan and add 1-2 folded tortillas to each skillet. Close with lid and let cook on medium heat. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove the lid, carefully flip the quesadilla and press down lightly with a spatula to seal the edges. Cook, uncovered for another 2-3 minutes or until crispy, browned, and cheesy filling has melted. It’s important to keep the heat low so the cheese can melt before the tortilla browns too much (reduce heat if tortilla is browning before cheese is melted).
11. Repeat this process to finish cooking all the quesadillas
12. Optional, serve with a tablespoon of sour cream
