# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, then drain excess fat.
02 -
Stir crumbled bacon and maple syrup into the cooked beef. Mix well to coat evenly. Set aside.
03 -
Lay tortillas flat. On one half of each, sprinkle cheese, spoon over the beef mixture, add optional extras, then top with more cheese. Fold tortillas in half to close.
04 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray. Grill quesadillas 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted, pressing gently with a spatula.
05 -
Let quesadillas rest briefly, then slice into wedges. Serve with extra maple syrup or your preferred dipping sauce.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Avoid overfilling the quesadillas to ensure they crisp evenly and don't fall apart.
02 -
Let grilled quesadillas rest briefly before slicing for better structure.
03 -
To reheat, warm in a dry skillet over low heat until crisp and heated through.
04 -
Assembled quesadillas can be refrigerated and grilled later for easy prep.
