Notes
Use extra lean ground beef. This will cut down on the grease and help the quesadilla be less messy.
Make as many quesadillas as you can eat (this recipe makes about 4-6 quesadillas), if having leftovers store, meat mixture in the airtight container, inside the fridge. It is yummier to reheat meat mixture and make fresh quesadillas than to reheat already made quesadillas from the night before.
