Tips for Success with Sizzling Blackstone Quesadilla Burger
- Don’t Overmix the Beef: When forming the patties, handle the meat gently to keep it tender.

- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add jalapeños, olives, or any other toppings you love.
- Watch the Heat: Adjust the grill temperature if the tortillas are browning too quickly; you want them golden, not burnt.
- Let the Patties Rest: Allow the cooked patties to rest for a minute before assembling to enhance juiciness.
