Description

Enjoy a savory steak quesadilla with tender, seasoned steak, melted cheese, and a crispy tortilla, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb skirt steak
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Season Steak: Rub steak with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 4-5 minutes per side until medium-rare. Let rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
  3. Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers and onions until tender.
  4. Assemble Quesadillas: Place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Add a layer of cheese, steak slices, sautéed veggies, and more cheese. Top with another tortilla.
  5. Cook Quesadillas: Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  6. Serve: Cut into wedges and serve with guacamole and salsa.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak in lime juice and garlic for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack for a richer flavor.
