Beef Stew Quesadilla
Author: Anita
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 5 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 8-inch flour or 4 5-inch corn tortillas
  • ½ to ¾ cup beef stew
  • ½ cup of shredded cheese
  • 2 tbsp diced green chiles
  • optional: shredded lettuce and sour cream
Instructions
  1. Fish chunks of beef from the stew and place on a small plate. Smash or shred with a fork or 2 forks (fingers work well, too).
  2. Place a tortilla in a quesadilla maker or on a skillet on the stove.
  3. Cover with a layer of shredded cheese.
  4. Spread a layer of the beef on top of the cheese.
  5. Dot little dollops of the stew sauce sparsely on top of the beef. I also include some of the smallest chunks of carrots and yams.
  6. Spread a layer of diced green chiles on top, if desired.
  7. Spread another layer of shredded cheese on top.
  8. Top with a second tortilla.
  9. Plug quesadilla maker in, or turn the stove on to medium-high heat.
  10. Cook until tortilla starts to brown (you'll have to peek).
  11. If using a stove, you'll have to flip the quesadilla and lightly brown the other side - be very careful or it will start coming apart. You might slide it onto a plate, put the skillet upside down on top of it, then flip the plate and skillet together.
  12. Serve with shredded lettuce and sour cream, if desired.
  13. If using 4 smaller tortillas, you'll have to do it again to make your second quesadilla.
  14. Enjoy!
