  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 6 scallions, chopped

Directions

  1. 1

    Brown the beef in a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray.

    While the meat is browning, make the sauce by adding the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, sesame seeds, ginger and red pepper flakes to a small bowl. Whisk to combine.

  3. 3

    Drain any drippings from the pan if needed, then pour the sauce to the skillet, stir and cook for 5 minutes over low heat.

  4. 4

    In a clean skillet, add another coating of cooking spray and lay one tortilla down in the center of the skillet. Add an even layer of beef (about 3/4 cup) then cover with 3/4 c. mozzarella and then 2 T. scallions.

  5. 5

    Top with another tortilla and press down with a dinner plate.

  6. 6

    After 3 minutes check the bottom tortilla to see if its browned. If it is then flip over to the other side and cook another 3 minutes until brown.

    Transfer to a cutting board to cool while you make the other 3 quesadillas. Cut each quesadillas into fourths and serve. You’ll have 8 large wedges, but you can also cut those in half and have 16 wedges for appetizers.
