We’re not just slapping some beef and cheese in a tortilla and calling it a day—this is a full-throttle A&O flavour mission that’s ready in under 20 minutes. The General brings a smoky depth with a punch of spice and that Tex Mex swagger.

Bold, beefy, and unapologetically cheesy. Whether you’re feeding a hungry squad or just treating yourself, these quesadillas are locked, loaded, and ready to deliver serious satisfaction.

Directions

  1. Place the beef into a hot pan and start to brown it off. Sprinkle in The General seasoning and use a wooden spoon to break it up, stirring occasionally until nicely browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste and black beans and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove beef from the pan and place into a bowl. 
  3. Lay out the tortillas and spread half of the cheese over the top. Spoon the cooked beef on top of the cheese, top with the remaining cheese and cheese slices, and another sprinkle of The General. Fold each tortilla so it’s a half moon shape. 
  4. Wipe out the pan, heat some oil and cook the quesadillas one by one, adding more oil where necessary, until nicely browned and oozing with cheese. 
  5. Cut each quesadilla in half, stack them high and enjoy with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
