How to make Easy Sheet Pan Tex Quesadillas

Makes approximately 8 servings

Equipment Needed

Cutting board, knife, large skillet, spatula, 2 large sheet pans

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 oz packet taco seasoning 
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 red  bell pepper, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 15.25 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 oz can green chilies, drained
• 16 oz Colby Jack cheese, shredded
• 8 large flour tortillas 
• Green onions, sour cream, and salsa for serving 

Step-by-Step Process

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Chop the onion and bell peppers.

3. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet, breaking the meat apart as it cooks, until no longer pink. Drain any grease.

4. Stir in the taco seasoning.

5. Add the onion, peppers, black beans, and green chilies and stir to combine.

6. Arrange flour tortillas on a large sheet pan – each tortilla will be half on the pan, half off, and slightly overlapping. For a large sheet pan, you’d put two along each long side, then one at the top of the pan, one at the bottom. Then add one to the center.

7. Sprinkle half the cheese across the parts of the tortillas that are inside the sheet pan.

8. Now dump your beef and veggie mixture onto the sheet pan and spread it in an even layer to the edges.

9. Now add the last tortilla to the very center of the mixture in the pan. Then fold the rest of the tortillas into the center.

10. Now set another sheet pan on top of this to hold the tortillas down and transfer the pans to the oven to bake for 20 minutes.

11. Remove the top sheet pan, then bake for an additional 15 minutes.

12. Remove from the oven, cut into 8 squares (or 12 if you want them smaller), and serve with your desired toppings. We used sour cream, salsa and green onions.

Helpful Tips for the Best Sheet Pan Tex-Mex Quesadillas

• Use large tortillas: Helps fully cover the sheet pan without gaps.
• Rinse black beans well: Removes excess salt and improves texture.
• Bake in two stages: Press first, then finish uncovered for crispness.
• Cut with a sharp knife: Prevents the layers from pulling apart.
• Add toppings after baking: Keeps tortillas crisp and fresh.
