Ingredients
- 2 All Natural 80% Lean / 20% Fat Ground Beef Patties
- 1 teaspoon Great Value Classic Ranch Seasoning

How to Make a Low-Calorie Cheeseburger Quesadilla
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with butter spray. Add the ground beef patties and break them apart as they cook. Once browned, drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Season
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and Montreal steak seasoning over the beef. Stir well and cook for another 1–2 minutes to lock in that bold cheeseburger flavor.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
Reduce heat to low and sprinkle the fiesta cheese blend over the beef. Stir until the cheese melts and everything is creamy and evenly coated.
Step 4: Warm the Tortillas
Warm your carb-balance tortillas in a skillet or microwave so they’re soft and flexible.
Step 5: Assemble
Divide the cheesy beef mixture evenly between the two tortillas. Fold them up tightly into quesadillas.
Step 6: Crisp (Optional but Recommended)
Lightly spray the outside of each quesadilla with butter spray and place them back in the skillet. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy.
