Quesadillas: Beef, Pork & Big Flavor

Let’s not overcomplicate a good thing: quesadillas are a weeknight hero, a picky-eater pleaser, and honestly? A great way to clean out the fridge. But when you’ve got Creamery Creek meats in the freezer, it’s not just a “what’s-left-in-the-fridge” meal—it’s a dang good one.

This recipe brings together two of our favorite flavor-packed staples: dry-aged ground beef and our Duroc pork chorizo sausage. The combo is rich, savory, a little smoky, and just the right amount of juicy for a crispy-edged quesadilla that actually holds together (none of that soggy middle nonsense).

What you’ll need:

• 1 lb Creamery Creek dry-aged ground beef

• 1 lb Creamery Creek Duroc pork chorizo sausage

• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 1 cup shredded cheese (our cojack or pepper jack are both great)

• Flour tortillas (soft taco or burrito size)

• Butter or oil for cooking

• Optional extras: sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, sour cream, avocado, hot sauce

Let’s make it:

1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chorizo together, breaking it up as it cooks.

2. Add the diced onion and cook until soft. Drain excess fat if needed.

3. Warm a clean skillet over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.

4. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half with cheese, a few spoonfuls of the meat mixture, and any extras you like, then more cheese (for the glue effect). Fold the tortilla over.

5. Cook until golden and crispy, then flip and brown the other side. Repeat with the rest.

6. Slice into wedges and serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauces.

Why we love it:
This one’s easy to scale up for a crowd or down for just you. The beef gives you that classic, savory base, while the chorizo brings the spice and richness—it’s like a flavor tag team. These reheat like a dream too, so don’t be afraid to make extra.

Keep it simple or go wild with toppings—either way, this recipe earns a spot on your regular rotation.

Want to throw this into lunchboxes, game day spreads, or midnight snack menus? Go for it. Creamery Creek meats make it more than just a quesadilla—it’s a little love letter to your taste buds.

Tell me how it goes for you!
