Crazy Beef Quesadillas

Take an average cheese quesadilla to a more satisfying place! Crumbled Ground Beef, black beans, corn and salsa join melted cheese inside these hearty handhelds.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
• 1 jar (16 ounces) prepared salsa with black beans and corn
• 1-1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
• Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings, as necessary.

   Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

2. Reserve 1/2 cup salsa. Add remaining salsa, cheese and 1/4 cup cilantro to beef; mix well. Spoon 1/4 of beef mixture onto half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half to close. Place on baking sheet.

   Cook's Tip: Prepared thick-and-chunky salsa may be substituted for the black bean and corn salsa.

3. Bake in 350°F oven 10 to 11 minutes or until filling is heated through and edges of tortillas are lightly browned and crisp. Garnish with cilantro, as desired; serve with reserved salsa.

• Test Kitchen Tips Use the pan size specified in the recipe. If the pan is too small, the beef will be crowded and browning will be inhibited. If the pan is too large, overcooking may result.
