Quesadilla Burgers

Cinco de Mayo - World Cuisine

This is a great twist on the hamburger that everyone is sure to love! It's a combination of southwest and the classic American hamburger. I have three kids who all eat very differently from one another and this was a hit for them as well as hubby! I like to serve these with either sweet potato fries or green bean fries!

World Cuisine

Directions

Step 1

Mix sour cream ranch dressing and taco sauce together in a bowl until Southwest sauce is smooth. Cover bowl and refrigerate for flavors to blend.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3

Cook hamburger patties in the preheated grill for 5 minutes seasoning with Worcestershire sauce. Flip patties. Arrange tortillas on the grill and lower heat to medium-low under tortillas. Add Cheddar cheese and Colby-Jack cheese to tortillas; cook until cheeses melt 2 to 4 minutes. Continue cooking hamburger patties until cooked through about 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Step 4

Spread Southwest sauce onto 1/2 of the tortillas; top with lettuce and picante sauce. Place 1 hamburger patty on top of picante sauce layer and top patty with a tortilla creating a sandwich.
