Cheesy beef and potato quesadillas with Betty Crocker® Ultimate Cheddar mashed potatoes - a delicious twist on Mexican cuisine.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 box (4.9 oz) Betty Crocker™ Ultimate Cheddar mashed potatoes
  • 1 pouch Cheese Sauce (from potatoes box)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 package (11 oz) Old El Paso™ Flour Tortillas for Burritos (8 Count)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 slices pepper Jack cheese (3/4 oz each)
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions:
  • In a 10-inch skillet, sizzle the beef over medium-high heat for 5 minutes until fully cooked; then, drain any excess fat. Toss in the onion and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute until the onion is tender.
  • Prepare the potatoes according to package instructions using water, milk, and the Cheese Sauce packet. Combine the potatoes with the ground beef mixture in a medium bowl.
  • Preheat sandwich/panini grill press to medium heat. Brush tortillas with oil. Spread 3 tablespoons of potato mixture on one side of each tortilla; place 1 slice of cheese on top. Fold tortillas in half to cover the filling.
  • Once the grill press is heated, place the tortillas on the grill. Close the grill and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot. Serve the quesadillas with salsa, sour cream, and cilantro.
