Ingredients

“Tortillas”

• 2 large low-carb tortillas or
  1½ cups shredded mozzarella (for cheese-only shells)

Filling

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ¼ cup diced pickles

• 2 tbsp diced onion (optional, very small amount for keto)

• 1 tbsp mustard

• 1 tbsp sugar-free ketchup

Optional toppings

• Bacon bits

• Lettuce (add after cooking for crunch)

• Sesame seeds (for that burger vibe)

🔥 Instructions

1. Cook the Beef

   • Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

   • Drain excess grease if needed.

2. Mix Cheeseburger Flavor

   • Stir mustard, sugar-free ketchup, pickles, and onions into the beef.

   • Remove from heat.

3. Assemble Quesadillas

   • Heat a clean skillet over medium-low.

   • Place tortilla (or a cheese shell) in the pan.

   • Sprinkle cheddar cheese, add beef mixture, then more cheese.

   • Top with second tortilla (or fold if using cheese-only shell).

4. Cook Until Crispy

   • Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and melty.

   • Press gently with a spatula for crisp edges.

5. Serve

   • Slice and garnish with sesame seeds or bacon bits.

   • Serve with sugar-free burger sauce or mayo.

💡 Cheese-Only Shell Option (Ultra Keto)

• Sprinkle ¾ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar directly into a nonstick pan.

• Cook until bubbly and lightly browned.

• Add filling, fold, and crisp both sides.
