Wrap Up A Midweek Dinner in About 30 Minutes
Midweek meals at our house can be a bit of a…challenge. I love being in the kitchen with my family making meals we can enjoy together. But when there’s football practices, and middle school test prep, and dance class and… well, y’all know how it goes. Life is busy! So when I find a meal that’s easy and delicious, I have to share it. This Beef and Bean Sheet Pan Quesadilla is a midweek dinner lifesaver! It’s simple to put together, bakes in about 30 minutes, and everyone loves it!
The tortillas turn out buttery and crisp. The beef and bean filling is perfectly seasoned with store-bought taco seasoning (going for easy, folks!). And we serve it up with our favorite toppings like sour cream, homemade guacamole, roasted tomato salsa and some fresh cilantro (quick tip: how to get your cilantro squeaky clean). Absolutely delicious! And did I mention it’s easy?
How to Make a Beef and Been Sheet Pan Quesadilla
First, preheat the oven to 425°F. Then coat the inside of a 17×12 rimmed sheet pan with butter, making sure to cover completely. Lay 10 tortillas on the sheet pan, starting with the corners and overlapping a bit to cover the entire pan, leaving about two inches hanging over the edge of the pan.
Next, brown the ground beef and then stir in the taco seasoning and refried beans. Stir to combine well.
Spread the ground beef mixture over tortillas in the sheet pan. And then sprinkle evenly with the shredded cheese.
Lay three tortillas down the middle of the pan. Fold edges of the tortilla left hanging over the pan to cover completely. Use a toothpick to hold the edges in place, if needed.
Butter the bottom side of a second rimmed sheet pan. Remove the toothpicks and place on top of the tortillas, buttered side down, pressing it down just a bit. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove top sheet pan and let bake for another 5 minutes or until golden brown all over the top.
To serve, cut into squares and serve with your favorite quesadilla toppings.
