For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin layer of refried beans or black bean salsa to the tortillas before adding the cheese. Feel free to customize the cheese blend to your liking. Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a Mexican cheese blend would all work well. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the burger patties in a skillet on the stovetop or bake them in the oven. To keep the quesadilla burgers warm while assembling, you can place them in a low oven (around 200°F) or wrap them loosely in foil. Serve these Quesadilla Burgers with a side of sweet potato fries, green bean fries, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, ranch dressing, and taco sauce until smooth and well combined. Cover the Southwest sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPreheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepSeason the hamburger patties with Worcestershire sauce, or your favorite burger seasoning, to taste. Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 5 minutes per side. While the patties are grilling, arrange the flour tortillas nearby, reducing the heat under the tortillas to medium-low. Sprinkle Cheddar and Colby-Jack cheese evenly over the tortillas. Continue cooking the patties until they are cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C), about 5 minutes more. Simultaneously, cook the tortillas until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, approximately 2 to 4 minutes. (Cook time: 12-14 minutes)
04
StepCarefully transfer the cheese-covered tortillas from the grill. Spread a generous amount of the chilled Southwest sauce onto the cheese-covered side of four tortillas. Top each with shredded lettuce, picante sauce, and a juicy burger patty. Finish by placing the remaining cheese-covered tortillas, cheese-side down, on top of the patties to create a quesadilla burger. Serve immediately and enjoy!
