My husband always orders the quesadilla burger at Applebee's, so he was thrilled when I tried this recipe. They turned out really well, and we'll be making them often! We grilled our hamburgers (on a charcoal grill!), and then assembled the burgers and finished it all off on our George Foreman grill. That made the tortilla nice and crispy, and also allowed the extra fat to drain off. After grilling on the George Foreman, we opened the quesadillas back up and put the salsa inside. Sooooo good! Thanks for posting!

These were delicious!! I cooked the entire meal on the grill, I used Monterey Jack instead of pepper jack it was delicious!

This was a very yummy twist on our burgers. I did grill the burgers and also added cilantro to the sour cream which gave it just a little more flavor. Very nice recipe and thanks for posting. I will make this again that is for sure because my family loved it.

These were awesome!!! I wish I could give them 10 stars, as they were that delicious! We will be having these again and often...The only difference we did was to not cut the burgers in half, but I think we may do that next time, as it would make it easier. Thanks for posting such a yummy recipe!
