Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayo, grated onion, ketchup, pickle relish, yellow mustard, white vinegar, and paprika until smooth.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until browned.
  3. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce over the cooked beef. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. On a clean surface, lay out the tortillas. Stack two slices of cheddar cheese on half of each tortilla, then add the seasoned beef, onions, and pickles.
  5. In a clean skillet, heat olive oil. Cook one folded quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove and let rest for a minute. Slice into triangles and serve with the burger sauce.
