- Brown the beef and sir in the spices. Set to one side.

Can you make them ahead of time?
These folded quesadillas are best cooked and enjoyed straight away, but you can easily make the beef taco filling 2 or 3 days ahead of time and keep it covered in the fridge.
Leftovers will keep well for a couple of days in the fridge in an airtight container and can be reheated in a skillet or in a toaster oven until the cheese melts.
What can I use instead of beef?
You can easily make this recipe with ground turkey, chicken or pork if you prefer. You can also cook leftover shredded rotisserie chicken with the spices and use that. Make them vegetarian by using plant-based meat crumbles.
What do you serve them with?
I like to serve my foldover quesadilla with some guacamole or salsa for dipping and a garnish of cilantro for some freshness. If you want to serve them for a larger meal, then you can’t go wrong with some shoestring fries or just a nice fresh salad.
Tips!
- Fold the tortilla in half, and then in half again, so you can see the quarters where you should place the filling.
- Use a good melting cheese for this recipe as this acts as the glue to hold the tortillas together.
- Take care not to overload the fillings or they will spill out when you fold them.

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 7 minutes
Total: 17 minutes
Level up your quesadillas with these beef foldover tortillas. Loaded with seasoned ground beef, cheese, sour cream and pico de gallo, they are super quick and easy to make.
Instructions
Brown the ground beef. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Drain and set aside. Wash the pan and return to the stove over medium high heat.
Lay tortilla flat. Fold in half to create a seam in the tortilla marking the middle. Unfold, and make a small cut to the center of the tortilla.
Imagine the tortilla is split into 4 equal sections. Add a couple spoonfuls of the taco meat into one section, cheese to another, sour cream to the next, and finally pico de gallo to the last section.
Starting with the bottom left quadrant, fold the tortilla up and over the top left, then the top right, then the bottom right.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the pan. Add quesadillas and cook for 3 minutes per side.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
