Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground beef and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
½ cup white onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp water

For the quesadillas

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
Chef's tip
Warm briefly before folding to improve flexibility.
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola oil or vegetable oil)

For serving

sour cream, for serving (optional)
salsa, for serving (optional)
fresh cilantro, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 6–8 minutes. Drain off all but about 1 tbsp of fat.
2
Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
