- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tbsp. Chili powder
- 1 tbsp. Cumin
- 1/2 tsp.Smoked paprika
- Kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.Drain the fat, then add the cumin, chili powder and paprika and season with salt and pepper.
On half of the baking sheet, arrange 6 tortillas around the edge of the baking sheet so that about half of each tortilla overhangs the side. Place another tortilla in the center to completely cover the pan, then add the ground beef, pepper-onion mixture, cheese, and scallions.
Place another tortilla in the center (on top of all the toppings) and then fold each tortilla toward the center. Place a second baking sheet on top of the tortilla (so the quesadilla holds its shape!).) and cook until the tortillas become crispy, about 20 minutes. Remove the top baking sheet and continue baking until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes more.
