Copycat Applebee's Quesadilla Burgers Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

If you're tired of the same old burgers and long for something unique, these quesadilla burgers are an excellent choice. The burgers are similar to applebee's famous sandwiches, assembled with cheese quesadillas made with street-size tortillas. This version includes some pico de gallo salsa along with cheddar jack cheesefeel free to use pepper jack cheese or add some minced jalapeno peppers to the salsa mixture. Chopped cooked bacon would be a tasty addition as well, or add a few strips of bacon to the burgers when you assemble them. If you want to make only one or two burgers, just scale it down. Or scale the recipe up for a larger family or get together. Street-size tortillas are quite small, but you might want to cut them down slightly to make them bun-sizeabout four inches in diameter. For extra cheesy burgers, mound extra cheese in the filling of the top quesadilla, or add a slice or two of cheese to the burgers just before they are done.
