Introduction

The Juicy Blackstone Quesadilla Burger is a flavorful twist on traditional quesadillas, combining seasoned ground beef, tangy pickles, and melted cheddar cheese all grilled to perfection. It’s a satisfying and indulgent meal perfect for a casual lunch or dinner.

The image shows two triangular quesadilla slices stacked on a wooden board, each slice having three clear layers: a golden-brown toasted tortilla on top with visible grill marks, a middle layer of melted bright yellow cheese, and a bottom layer of cooked ground beef that looks juicy and slightly browned. On top of the cheese in both slices, there are thin green pickle slices adding a slight contrast. In the blurred background, there is a white bowl with a creamy dip and some green garnish. The surface under the board is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 pound minced beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
4 large tortillas (10 inches)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayo
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles
1 tablespoon finely diced onion
2 teaspoons white vinegar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your Blackstone Grill to medium-high heat, about 400 degrees F. Add the ground beef to the hot grill and cook until fully browned and no longer pink. Season with salt and black pepper as it cooks.
Step 2: While the beef cooks, prepare the special sauce by combining mayo, ketchup, finely chopped pickles, diced onion, and white vinegar in a bowl. Stir well to combine and set aside.
Step 3: Place the tortillas directly on the grill. Spread a generous layer of the special sauce on half of each tortilla. Top with cooked ground beef, chopped dill pickles, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 4: Fold the tortillas in half to form quesadillas. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
Step 5: Remove the quesadillas from the grill. Slice each into four pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use a non-stick spray on the grill if sticking is a concern.
For extra spice, add chopped jalapeños to the special sauce or beef mixture.
Substitute cheddar with Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese for a different flavor.
If you don’t have a Blackstone Grill, a cast iron skillet or regular grill pan works well.

Storage

Store leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to restore crispness, or microwave briefly if short on time.
