Instructions
In a food processor or blender, blend together the onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil until the onion is no longer solid and the mixture is liquidy.
In a skillet on medium heat, add in the olive oil and ground beef with some salt, breaking beef up with a wooden spoon.
Half way through cooking, while the beef is still half pink, add in the mixture you just made, stirring to combine. Let the beef simmer until it has cooked through or until the liquid has been absorbed. If you are in a rush, you can always make a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp of cornstarch to 1 tbsp of cold water) to add to the beef to thicken the liquid.
When done, make your quesadillas by adding a thin layer of cheese, beef, and kimchi on half of the of the tortilla. Fold it in half. Repeat with 3 more.
Heat another skillet over medium heat with a thin layer of olive oil and place the folded tortillas in the skillet. Let warm for 2-3 minutes or until browned. Brush the top of the tortilla with some more oil and flip the tortilla over and let cook for another 2-3. Repeat if necessary for a crisper tortilla.
