Quesadilla Burger
The Quesadilla Burger features a juicy, all-beef patty piled high with two slices of Pepper Jack cheese, Applebee’s signature Mexi-ranch sauce, crispy Applewood-smoked bacon, house-made Pico de Gallo, and shredded lettuce. Instead of a bun, it is served inside a crisp, warm Cheddar cheese quesadilla. It is typically served with a side of classic fries.
