APPLEBEE'S QUESADILLA BURGERS (COPYCAT)
I have never eaten Applebees Quesadilla burgers but I can say that these burgers are awesome! You can adapt this to make as many burgers as you need. I used a little over a pound of hamburger for 4 burgers and had left over seasoning.

Steps:
- For hamburgers:.
- Combine all seasoning ingredrients. Use one heaping Tblsp of seasoning mix per pound of hamburger meat. Mix into hamburger meat until well combined. Fry or grill. ( I used George Foreman grill).
- Assembling the complete burger:.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Spread butter on one side of each tortilla. Put one tortilla, butter side down in the hot pan. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly onto the center of the tortilla in the pan- but not all the way to the edges. Put the tomato, onion, bacon and jalapeno over the cheese, add the cooked seasoned burger and cover with the other tortilla butter side up (like a grilled cheese sandwhich). When the bottom is browned, about 45-90 seconds, flip the quesadilla and grill the other side. Remove the quesidilla from the pan and using a pizza cutter, cut throught the middle. Serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your quesadillas. Fresh tortillas, cheese, and vegetables will all taste better than their pre-packaged counterparts.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking quesadillas, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Cook over medium heat: Quesadillas should be cooked over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a quesadilla, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese are both good options.
- Add your favorite toppings: Once your quesadillas are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and diced tomatoes.
Conclusion:
Quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as an appetizer or snack. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a quesadilla recipe that everyone will enjoy.
