Mexican Skillet Beef Quesadilla

Mexicans know a thing or two about a fast, tasty breakfast! Some mornings there's just no time to cook. I found this recipe for a Mexican meat-filled tortilla in a book — a really simple, quick snack. My family loved it, too.

To start, finely chop the onion and sauté it in a skillet with hot corn oil. Once the onion turns translucent, add the ground beef and cook, stirring, for 7 minutes. Stir the finely chopped, peeled tomatoes into the browned meat, then add the spices and salt. Grate the cheese on the coarse side of a grater — any mild hard cheese works well. Set a tortilla in a hot, dry skillet, sprinkle it with grated cheese, spread the meat filling in an even layer, and top with more cheese. Cover with a second tortilla and carefully flip it. Cook until both tortillas are browned and crisp. Cut the finished quesadilla into triangles to serve. Enjoy!
