Instructions

• Combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a bowl until well-mixed. Roll the beef into a log about 6 inches long.
• Preheat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, transfer the beef to the pan and smash into a flat patty. Cook for about 3 minutes, flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
• In a separate cast iron pan over medium-low heat, lay a tortilla down and sprinkle cheese over the whole thing. Add red onion, jalapeno, and tomato to one half. Cook until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer the cooked burger patty to the cheese-only half of the tortilla. Top with chipotle mayo, then fold the other half of the tortilla over the patty to close the quesadilla.
• Transfer to a cutting board and cut the quesadilla in half. Serve immediately.
