2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 scallions, thinly sliced
4 10-inch tortillas
3 1/2 cups shredded muenster or monterey jack cheese
fresh salsa and/or sour cream, for serving
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and chili powder and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beef, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Add the scallions and cook 5 to 6 more minutes.
Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat. Brush 1 side of each tortilla with olive oil. Place 2 tortillas on the griddle (or 1 if using a skillet), oiled-side down, and scatter about one-quarter of the cheese on each. Cook until the bottoms are golden broun and the cheese is melted. put about a quarter of the beef mixture on half each tortilla and fold into a half-moon. Continue to cook until the quesadillas are crisp, turning once. Repeat to make 4 quesadillas. Cut into wedges and top with salsa and/or sour cream.
