Steak & Cheese Quesadillas

Steak & Cheese Quesadillas

Crispy, cheesy, and packed with juicy steak and caramelized onions—these quesadillas are a quick, satisfying meal!

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 1 lb skirt steak (or flank steak), diced into 1-inch pieces

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

For the Quesadillas:

• 1 tbsp butter or oil

• 1 onion, thinly sliced

• 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)

• 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)

• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

• Optional toppings: Sour cream, salsa, guacamole, chopped cilantro

Instructions:

1. Cook the Steak:

• In a bowl, toss steak with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook 3–4 minutes per side until browned but still slightly pink inside. Remove and set aside.

2. Sauté Onions & Peppers:

• In the same skillet, melt butter and add onions (and bell peppers if using). Cook 5 minutes until soft and slightly caramelized.

3. Assemble Quesadillas:

• On half of each tortilla, layer:

  • Cheese → Steak → Onions/Peppers → More Cheese

• Fold tortillas over.

4. Crisp in a Skillet:

• Wipe the skillet clean, then heat over medium heat.

• Cook each quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until golden and cheese melts.

5. Serve:

• Slice into wedges and serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Tips:

✅ For extra flavor, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the steak.
✅ Make it spicy with jalapeños or a sprinkle of cayenne.
✅ Shortcut: Use leftover grilled steak or store-bought fajita meat.

Perfect for a quick dinner or game-day snack! 🧀🔥
