# Instructions:
01 -
In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and add ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and the maple syrup. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until everything is well-coated and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and stir in the crispy chopped bacon.
03 -
On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a mix of cheddar and mozzarella. Add a layer of the maple bacon beef mixture, then top with a little more cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon.

In a clean skillet or griddle, melt butter over medium heat. Place quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Let quesadillas rest for a minute, then cut into wedges. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
