Creating Smashburger Quesadillas is a fun and rewarding experience. Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season it with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef with barbecue sauce (if using), diced onions, and diced pickles. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

3. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little cooking oil or butter to grease the pan.

4. Assemble the Quesadilla: Lay one flour tortilla flat in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the tortilla with a generous layer of cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.

5. Add Filling: Place half of the beef mixture over the cheese on one half of the tortilla.

6. Fold and Cook: Carefully fold the tortilla in half, covering the filling. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

7. Repeat: Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining ingredients, creating another quesadilla.

8. Slice and Serve: Once both quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges using a sharp knife.
