Applebee's Mexi-Ranch Dressing (Click the Link in the Notes to Make this Recipe)

How to cook:

Up to 1 Day Ahead
Prepare Applebee's Mexi-Ranch Dressing and Pico de Gallo (if making homemade). Store each in tightly sealed containers, in the refrigerator, until ready to use.
Prepare Applebee's Southwest Seasoning Mix according to recipe below. Store in a tightly sealed container in the cupboard.
When Ready to Cook
In a medium large bowl, place ground meat and 1/2 heaping tablespoon Applebee's Southwest Seasoning Mix (Note - Use 1 heaping tablespoon of seasoning mix per pound of hamburger meat.) With your hands, mix seasoning into hamburger meat until well combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Form the meat into 2 equal-sized patties.
Fry or grill the burgers to desired doneness. Set aside and keep warm.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat.
Spread 1/2 of the butter on one side of each tortilla.
Place one tortilla, butter side down in the hot pan.
Sprinkle 1/2 of each cheese evenly onto the center of the tortilla in the pan.
Sprinkle 1/2 of each of the tomato, onion, lettuce and jalapeño over the cheese.
Add 1 or 2 slices of bacon.
Top with prepared seasoned burger.
Cover with the other tortilla butter side up.
When the bottom side is browned, about 45 - 90 seconds, flip the quesadilla and grill the other side.
Remove the quesadilla from the pan. Set aside and keep warm while you repeat the cooking process for the second burger.
When both are done, remove the top tortillas and sprinkle with pico de gallo and drizzle with Applebee's Mexi-Ranch Dressing, if desired. Replace the tops. Alternately, serve burgers with bowls of pico de gallo and Applebee's Mexi-Ranch Dressing on the side.
Use a pizza cutter to cut through the middle like a pizza.

Quesadilla Burger {Applebee’s Copycat}

This is our healthier, copycat version of our favorite burger at Applebee’s…the Quesadilla Burger!
Provided by: Julie Clark
Total time: 35 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Prep time: 20 minutes
Yields: 6 servings
Cuisine: American
Number of ingredients: 7

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef (we used 96% lean ground beef)
12 street taco-size flour tortillas
12 slices cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups Pico de Gallo
1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup ketchup

Nutrition:

How to cook:

Form 2 pounds of ground beef into 6 hamburger patties. To make them fit the flour tortillas better, make the patties thinner, with a diameter of about 4-5 inches. Grill the burgers on a preheated grill (400º Fahrenheit). The internal temperature should be at least 165º Fahrenheit.
While the burgers are grilling, spray a frying pan with cooking spray. With the stove on medium-low, lightly toast the flour tortillas for about 2-3 minutes on each side. They should be light brown, and still a little chewy on the inside.
Put one slice of cheese on a toasted flour tortilla. Place a burger over the cheese with another slice of cheese on top of the burger.
For the sauce, mix the ketchup and mayonnaise. Mix in ¾ cup Pico de Gallo to the mayonnaise/ketchup mixture.
Spread some of the sauce mixture on each burger, and top with another spoonful of Pico de Gallo and some lettuce. Top with another flour tortilla.
Serve immediately. Enjoy!
