Ingredients

- 8 flour tortillas
- chopped dill pickles optional topping
- sour cream optional topping
Instructions
- Heat a pan, large enough to fit the diameter of your tortillas, over low-medium heat.
- Place the first tortilla on the hot pan. Sprinkle a light layer of shredded cheese. Then add a layer of the warmed sloppy joe mixture. Top the meat with another light layer of cheese. Lastly, add the 2nd tortilla to finish.2 to 3 cups sloppy joe mixture, warmed, 4 to 5 cups shredded cheese, 8 flour tortillas
- Allow the quesadilla to cook for several minutes. You may need to turn down the heat to low if the cheese is not melting but the tortilla is browning too quickly. Cooking low and slow will produce the best result!
- Flip the quesadilla once the bottom layer of cheese is melted and the tortilla has slightly browned. Cook another few minutes until the cheese on this side is fully melted. Remove the quesadilla from the pan. Allow to rest and cool for a couple minutes. Use a pizza cutter to slice into several wedges. Top with chopped pickles or dip in sour cream if desired!chopped dill pickles, sour cream
