2. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise or burger sauce on one half of each tortilla.
3. Add Cheese: Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the mayonnaise on each tortilla.
4. Layer the Beef: Add a portion of the cooked ground beef on top of the cheese for each tortilla.
5. Add Toppings: Place shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced pickles over the beef. Top with more cheese for extra melty goodness.

8. Cook the Quesadillas: Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
