Instructions
In a bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients. Whisk well, then refrigerate until needed.
1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons minced dill pickles, 2 teaspoons yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, Salt and pepper
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Drain off all the bacon grease except about 1 tablespoon.
1/2 pound bacon
Add the ground beef to the same skillet with the bacon grease. Cook, breaking it up as it browns, until it is cooked through.
1 pound ground beef
Add the cooked bacon, ketchup, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir for a few minutes until fully warmed through.
Heat another skillet over medium heat. Add half of the butter and allow it to melt. Place one tortilla in the pan and sprinkle some of the cheese onto half of the tortillas. Add 1/4 of the beef mixture, followed by more cheese. Fold the tortilla over, and move the quesadilla to one side of the skillet. Repeat with another tortilla and filling, so that you are cooking 2 quesadillas at a time.
1 tablespoon butter, 4 8 to 9-inch flour tortillas, 6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Cook until golden brown and until the cheese starts to melt, the gently each quesadilla over. Continue to cook until the second side is browned and the cheese is melted, then remove from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Slice each quesadilla into triangles, then serve with lettuce, tomato, and the special sauce.
