Applebees Quesadilla Burgers Copycat Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Be sure to have everything handy, as these move quickly.
• Spread butter lightly on one side of flour tortilla.
• Place buttered side down on heated non-stick skillet.
• Immediately add bacon bits, cover with cheese and spoon on pico de gallo.
• Spread butter lightly on one side of another flour tortilla.
• Place second tortilla buttered side UP on top of fixings in skillet.
• Check underside of first flour tortilla.
• If browned to your satisfaction, carefully flip quesadilla over to brown second tortilla.
• When second tortilla is browned sufficiently, remove quesadilla from skillet.
• Serve warm, with dipping condiments of your choice.

Steps:

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