Keto Cheeseburger Quesadillas are a fun, low-carb twist on the classic cheeseburger, and they’re totally delicious! Here’s an easy recipe for them:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large low-carb tortillas (like almond flour or coconut flour tortillas)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
- Optional toppings: pickles, lettuce, tomato slices, mustard, or ketchup (if you can find a low-carb version)
Instructions:
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Season the beef: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce (optional), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the tortillas: If you’re using store-bought low-carb tortillas, you may want to warm them up slightly in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. Otherwise, prepare your keto-friendly tortillas as needed.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the tortilla. Then, add a generous amount of the cooked beef mixture on top of the cheese, spreading it out evenly. Add another layer of cheese on top of the beef (the cheese helps everything stick together when you grill).
- Top with the second tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top, pressing down gently to seal.
- Grill the quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to flip carefully with a spatula to avoid spilling the filling.
- Slice and serve: Once crispy and golden, remove the quesadilla from the skillet. Let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges. Serve with optional toppings like pickles, lettuce, or low-carb condiments.
Enjoy your Keto Cheeseburger Quesadillas! They’re perfect for satisfying those cheeseburger cravings while staying low-carb. 😋
