Instructions
Step
1
Beef Quesadillas: In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook beef for 5 to 8 minutes or until starting to brown. Add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is softened. Stir in barbecue sauce. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until beef is cooked through and sauce clings to beef well.
Step
2
In a medium bowl, stir together cheddar and mozzarella. Add 1 ½ cups LAY'S® Classic Potato Chips and, using fingertips, lightly crush.
Step
3
Over one side of each tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheddar mixture. Divide beef mixture and crushed potato chips among tortillas, over top of first cheese layer. Sprinkle with another 1/4 cup cheddar mixture. Fold each tortilla over to enclose filling.
