Preparation Instructions

Making Sloppy Joe Quesadilla Flavors is a quick process that yields high reward. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

Step 1: Cook the Meat

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, then add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking the meat into small crumbles.

Step 2: Make the Sloppy Joe Sauce

Once the meat is fully cooked, drain excess fat if necessary. Add tomato sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, mustard, salt, pepper, and chili powder (if using). Stir and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.

Step 3: Build the Quesadillas

Lay out tortillas. On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle cheese, add a scoop of Sloppy Joe meat, then more cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon.

Step 4: Cook the Quesadillas

In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt a bit of butter or spray with oil. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. The cheese should be fully melted.

Step 5: Slice and Serve

Let the quesadillas rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges. Serve hot with dipping sauces or fresh garnish.
