Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling
- 1️⃣ In a large skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

- 4️⃣ Add the crumbled bacon and stir well. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Quesadillas

- 2️⃣ Lay out a flour tortilla and spread a thin layer of the sauce.
- 3️⃣ Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly across one half of the tortilla.
- 4️⃣ Add a generous scoop of the cheeseburger filling, followed by a few chopped pickles (if using).
- 5️⃣ Top with another layer of cheese, then fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.
Step 3: Cook Until Crispy & Golden
- 1️⃣ Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- 2️⃣ Place the assembled quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down slightly with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.
- 3️⃣ Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, adding more butter as needed.
Step 4: Drizzle with Maple Butter & Serve

Notes
For the best flavor, use real maple syrup and freshly shredded cheese. Don’t overstuff the quesadilla to avoid spillage while cooking.
