Quesadillas

- 2 tablespoons butter, softened

-
Southwest Seasoning mix for burgers
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt (I didnt measure)
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
directions
-
For hamburgers:
- Combine all seasoning ingredrients. Use one heaping Tblsp of seasoning mix per pound of hamburger meat. Mix into hamburger meat until well combined. Fry or grill. ( I used George Foreman grill).
-
Assembling the complete burger:
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each tortilla. Put one tortilla, butter side down in the hot pan. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly onto the center of the tortilla in the pan- but not all the way to the edges. Put the tomato, onion, bacon and jalapeno over the cheese, add the cooked seasoned burger and cover with the other tortilla butter side up (like a grilled cheese sandwhich). When the bottom is browned, about 45-90 seconds, flip the quesadilla and grill the other side. Remove the quesidilla from the pan and using a pizza cutter, cut throught the middle. Serve.

I don't know what Applebee's you go to, but this was nothing like theirs. The 'southwest seasoning' made the burgers way too hot, and not even the toppings and plentiful cheese could cut it. Here's hoping we can find something else to do with the meat that can help, or else it is headed for the trash.
