Mexican-American · Main course · 25 min total

A crispy tortilla filled with tender seasoned steak and melted cheese, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• 8 oz flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese
• Sour cream and salsa for serving

Instructions

1. Season sliced steak with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak strips for 2-3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté onion and bell pepper until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Lay two tortillas on a flat surface. Divide half the cheese evenly over each tortilla. Top with steak, sautéed vegetables, and remaining cheese. Place remaining tortillas on top.
5. Heat a clean 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 salsa.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the cooked steak.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños with the vegetables.
• These quesadillas can be assembled ahead and cooked just before serving.
