Creating Smashburger Quesadillas is straightforward! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add diced onions and sauté until they are caramelized and soft, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble Quesadillas: On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded cheese, cooked beef, sautéed onions, and an additional layer of cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over.

4. Cook the Quesadillas: Wipe down the skillet and return it to medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until the tortilla is golden brown.

5. Flip and Finish: Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, ensuring the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.

6. Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve immediately with your chosen toppings.

Each step is designed to help you create a delicious meal with minimal fuss.
