You will be absolutely crazy over these Smoked Brisket and Melted Onions Quesadilla Nachos. Every bite is loaded with smokey meat, ooey-gooey melted cheese, buttery melted onions, fresh vegetables with herbs and just a subtle touch of the most amazing home-made spicy ranch. I love to serve these Quesadilla Nachos at parties. They also make a quick after-school snack or before bed treat. But, the real star of the dish is actually the home-made spicy ranch; it is delicious! These little babies are a favorite at our house and can be at your’s as well. Try them out! I promise you wont regret it.

The beauty that is a Quesadilla:

The first quesadilla I remember ever having eaten was in college. Sad right? Who could go so many years without the crispy tortillas and melted cheese together in a bite of absolute wonderfulness? My family just didn’t eat a lot of cheese or Mexican inspired foods growing up. When I started dating the man that would later become my husband, he practically lived off of cold Cereal, Quesadillas and PB&J sandwiches. We often joke that his palate was starved up until he met me. But in this, he actually introduced my palate to something wonderful; Quesadillas. They are fabulous and made even more fantastic in this Quesadilla Nachos recipe.

Other variations of these Amazing Quesadilla Nachos:

1. The Meat. The recipe calls for smoked brisket, however, I also like to use leftover chicken fajita meat, shredded chicken, crock-pot Mexican-style chicken, and rotisserie chicken. Along with varying meats such as anything leftover after making these amazing Kalbi Steaks. Feel free to switch things up!
2. The Cheese. While Gouda is my favorite, a mild cheddar or Cheddar mix works and will still taste delightful!
3. You can find the recipe for the Melted Onions used in these nachos; here.
4. The Pico de Gallo. In the recipe I give you the directions for a Tomato Pico de Gallo, but please try these quesadillas nachos with this Pineapple Mango Pico de Gallo, the outcome is absolutely divine!
5. The Sriracha Ranch drizzle. I give ingredients and directions for a fully home-made spicy ranch dressing. However, a quick substitute would be to add a couple drops Sriracha to your favorite ranch-style dressing.
