Directions

  1. Insert Flat Plate into the Ninja Woodfire Grill, set to Grill and Medium.
  2. Add Hickory Pellets, press Woodsmoke Technology and waith for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Place the beef on to the Flat Plate and start to brown it off. Sprinkle in The General seasoning and use a wooden spoon to break it up, stirring occasionally until nicely browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste and black beans and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove beef from the pan and place into a bowl.
  5. Lay out the tortillas and spread half of the cheese over the top. Spoon the cooked beef on top of the cheese, top with the remaining cheese and cheese slices, and another sprinkle of The General. Fold each tortilla so it's a half moon shape.
  6. Wipe out the Flat Plate, heat some oil and cook the quesadillas two at a time, adding more oil where necessary, until nicely browned and oozing with cheese.
  7. Cut each quesadilla in half, stack them high and enjoy with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
