Chili-Beef Quesadillas
Main Dish
1/2 pound ground beef |
1 small onion, diced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 4-oz. can diced green chiles, drained |
1 Tblsp chili powder |
1/4 tsp salt |
4 medium flour tortillas |
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1 large tomato, diced |
2 Tblsp chopped cilantro |
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large nonstick skillet, cook beef, onion, and garlic, breaking the beef apart with wooden spoon until it is no longer pink (3-5 minutes). Stir in chilies, chili powder, salt, and 1/4 cup water; cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid evaporates (about 10 minutes). Place 2 tortillas on baking sheet; top with beef mixture, then sprinkle evenly with cheese. Top with remaining 2 tortillas, pressing lightly. Bake until cheese melts (about 8 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes. Cut each quesadilla in half, then cut each half into 3 wedges. Top with sour cream, tomato, and cilantro and serve. (Could make this recipe lowfat by using reduced-fat cheese and fat-free sour cream.)
