Bacon Cheeseburger Quesadillas

Jump to Recipe

Burgers and Mexican are very popular choices in my home so I make them often. Then I decided to mash things up and made some Bacon Cheeseburger Quesadillas that got devoured by my crew. So much so that I ended up making another round of them after later that evening.

The special sauce is what really brings the “burger” flavor out in this dish. And it is a super simple sauce to pull together- whisking helps it smooth out faster. It doubles as a fry sauce too. My family prefers Mt. Olive Hamburger Dill Pickles on our burgers, so that is what I use for the juice in the sauce.

I made several large (burrito-sized) quesadillas but you could certainly make small soft taco sized ones and just not cut them as much. I didn’t make a side dish to go with it but you could go classic and do French Fries. You could also try my Black Bean Salad that has some hints of Tex-Mex and would be yummy with these quesadillas.
