Does your Taco Bell order usually include chicken or ground beef?

I love this sauce. I made the Quesadillas for my moms food truck as a “special” one night and I had to make it a regular staple for the food truck. They sell out every night. I wasn’t around on night to make them and everyone was very disappointed. 

I have a question though. Have you ever tried freezing the sauce? This is the last night of my moms food truck and I’m wondering if I can freeze the leftover sauce? 
Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!!!

The recipe is really good!!! Except I didn't have jalepenos, so i just used salsa

that was better than Taco Bell. Might want to take it easy on the spice, I only use 3/4 of the asking

Don't quit your day job. Too much Cumin. Tasted like dirt. Had to give you 1 star to make this comment.
Sour cream and Taco Bell mild sauce was more authentic.

It was horrible it was absolutely disgusting I was astonished by the taste I thought each direction I was very disappointed but I made my own sauce recipe for this

The quesadilla was good, but honestly it didn't taste like the delicious signature taco bell chicken quesadilla sauce. It had mostly a mayo flavor. It was alright but nothing like the original.

These Copycat Taco Bell Quesadillas Are Ridiculously Spot-On

Looking for super cheesy ground  beef quesadillas? You&#039;ve come to the right place! Well-seasoned ground beef, lots of ooey gooey cheese and a crispy golden brown exterior make these quesadillas simply irresistible! They&#039;re sure to become a favourite in your home as they are in ours.

Cheesy Ground Beef Quesadillas

olive oil

beef

chili powder

chipotle chili pepper

oregano

onion powder

salt

black pepper

cayenne pepper

tomato paste

unsalted beef

flour tortillas (about 7 to 8 inches in diameter each)

vegetable oil oil

guacamole

Preheat oven to 200 degree Fahrenheit (to keep quesadillas warm while cooking batches).

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan (about a 10-inch or 12-inch pan) over medium heat. Add ground beef, chili powder, chipotle pepper, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook, breaking the ground beef into small pieces and stirring occasionally, until the ground beef is fully cooked through (the ground beef should no longer be pink and be browned all the way through), about 8 to 10 minutes.

Stir in tomato paste and beef stock/broth and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove beef from the pan and place into a bowl. If there is any excess grease, drain/remove.

Distribute about 8 ounces (or 2 cups) of cheese among all tortillas (on one side of them). Note: Reserve the remaining 4 ounces of cheese (or 1 cup of cheese).

Distribute ground beef on top of cheese. Then sprinkle remaining 1 cup (or 4 ounces) of cheese on top of ground beef. Fold over each tortilla so it&#39;s a half-moon shape.

To cook quesadillas, heat about 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Gently swirl the oil around the pan to coat.Note: If you&#039;re using the same pan that you used for cooking the ground beef, just wipe out before greasing and cooking your quesadillas.Note: Cook the quesadillas in batches, two quesadillas at a time, adding more oil to the pan between batches as necessary.

Place two quesadillas in the pan. Cook quesadillas for about 2 minutes on one side.

Carefully flip quesadillas to the other side and continue to cook for another 2 minutes or until they&#039;re golden brown and crispy on the outside and the cheese is melted inside (carefully watch to ensure they don&#039;t burn). Transfer cooked quesadillas to a sheet pan and place into your preheated oven to keep warm while you are continuing to cook the remaining quesadillas.

Repeat process to cook remaining quesadillas.

Once done, cut each half-moon (quesadilla) in half so you have 12 pieces. Great served with salsa, guacamole and/or sour cream. Enjoy!Note: If you have any leftovers, properly store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 2 to 4 days, reheating before serving.

These are fantastic! I reduced the ground Chipotle chili peppers to 1/4 teaspoon for my picky grandkids sake and they loved them. Like another reviewer said, I'm done with packaged taco seasoning. Thanks so much!
