Begin by heating a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat for about 3–5 minutes.

Take the ground beef and press a handful onto one half of each tortilla, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Place the tortillas beef-side down onto the skillet, cooking for about 2–3 minutes.

Once the meat is browned, flip the tortilla and sprinkle shredded cheese on the cooked side.

Grill the folded quesadilla for an additional 3–4 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, let cool for a minute, and then cut into wedges.
