My mom and dad visited a friend in Texas, and he made "tacos" this way. It's how I've prepared them for my loved ones ever since.

Steps

1

Brown the ground beef and drain. Add 2/3 cup of water and seasoning packet. In other words, cook according to directions on the packet.
2

Add salsa. Cook through on low heat. Keep warm.
3

Slice pepper jack cheese into three 1/4 inch slices per taco. Set aside.
4

Add vegetable oil to a wide frying pan. Heat until a small corner of a tortilla comes out slightly browned.
5

Place three slices of pepper jack on the bottom half of a tortilla. I break the slices apart to cover more surface area. Fold tortilla in half as evenly as possible. Drop into oil very carefully.
6

Use tongs to carefully push any bubbles down,and rotate tortilla in the oil. Use tongs to gently flip tortilla,and lightly brown both sides. *Cheese will likely seep out, but that's okay. Fried cheese is a good thing.
7

Drain tortilla on a plate covered in paper towels. Don't press down too much on the tortilla, you'll squeeze out all of the cheese, and ruin everyone's good time.
8

Add seasoned meat, shredded cheese, and any desired toppings on the top of your beautiful, fried quesadilla.

Eat, and wonder how you ever lived without this dish in your life. Love you!
