For National Quesadilla Day, we’re putting Jarlsberg® front and center. Known for its distinctive sweet, nutty taste and signature large, round holes, Jarlsberg melts beautifully into these beef quesadillas, adding a rich, creamy texture and a subtle touch of sweetness. Paired with seasoned beef and crisp, golden tortillas, it’s a simple combination that gives this everyday favorite a delicious upgrade.
Beef Quesadillas with Jarlsberg®
Ingredients:
- 7oz of tender beef, thinly sliced
- 1 1/3 cups Jarlsberg, shredded
- Spices to taste (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder)
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350F
- In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add a slice of beef and cook until lightly browned and tender. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder to taste. Leave to rest.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded Jarlsberg on each tortilla.
- Slice the lightly cooked beef and distribute the slices on top of the cheese.
- Fold the tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
- Place the quesadillas on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with chimichurri.
