Quesadilla de Carne Asada Recipe

Mexican · Main course · 30 min total

A crispy tortilla filled with juicy grilled steak, melted cheese, and fresh salsa, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup pico de gallo or fresh salsa
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Season the steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Grill or pan-sear the steak over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
3. Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over half of the tortilla. Top with sliced steak, a spoonful of pico de gallo, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Fold the other half over to close.
4. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
6. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and extra salsa.

Tips

• Use a cast-iron skillet for the best crispy texture.
• Substitute chicken or shrimp for the steak if desired.
• Leftover quesadillas can be reheated in a toaster oven.
