  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 Servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds 85/15 ground beef
  • 2 XL Grande burrito tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons burger seasoning
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey
  • Shredded Colby Jack cheese, for filling

Homemade Pimento Cheese

  • 1 block softened cream cheese
  • ¼ cup Bachan’s Original Mayo
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup diced jalapeños
  • 4 oz diced jalapeños
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the griddle to medium-high heat. Cook the bacon for 5–7 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness. Set aside.
  2. Combine the softened cream cheese, mayo, cheddar, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Spread ½ pound of ground beef evenly over the meat side of each tortilla. Season with burger seasoning.
  4. Place the tortillas meat side down on the griddle and cook for 5–7 minutes, until browned and the beef reaches 160°F.
  5. Flip the tortillas. Reduce the heat to low and add shredded Colby Jack, two slices of bacon, hot honey, and pimento cheese.
  6. Fold each tortilla in half and cook for another 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese melts.
  7. Transfer to a cutting board, slice each quesadilla into thirds, and serve and enjoy!
