Instructions
- To a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, onion, seasoned salt, hamburger seasoning, salt, and pepper. Break up the beef and incorporate all of the seasonings. Cook beef until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the grease and transfer the beef mixture to a bowl. Cover to keep warm.
- Wipe out the skillet and add about a tablespoon of oil to the skillet. When hot, working one at a time, place a tortilla into the skillet. Top the tortilla with ½ cup of shredded cheese, covering it completely.
- Then, cover half of the tortilla with the following: ½ cup hamburger mixture, 2 tablespoons pickles, 2 tablespoons tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon raw onion.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Using a spatula, fold the tortilla in half. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding oil as needed.
- Slice each quesadilla into three pieces and garnish with a drizzle of fry sauce. Serve immediately.
