Crispy tortilla quesadillas stuffed with sweet and tasty Korean beef, spicy kimchi and plenty of melted cheese!
Quesadillas are one of my go-to foods any time! It’s just so easy to throw some cheese plus other tasty ingredients into tortillas and grill them up until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted! These quesadillas are Korean inspired with sweet and salty Korean style BBQ ground beef and spicy and sour kimchi. It only takes about 15 minutes to make quesadillas so they are a perfect snack or light meal pretty much any the time! I like to serve these quesadillas topped with either kimchi mayo or Korean BBQ sauce!

Kevin, this looks really good. Is there a recipe for the Korean BBQ sauce as I haven’t seen that in local stores? Also, what do you make with the remaining beef?
Here is the link to my: homemade Korean BBQ sauce Korean BBQ sauce https://www.closetcooking.com/korean-bbq-sauce/
I like to use the beef in these quesadillas, over rice, in burritos, in grilled cheese sandwiches, etc.!
This was so tasty! I made them with Impossible instead of beef in the 20 Minute Korean Beef linked in the quesadilla ingredients and it was a hit all around.
