Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Steak (such as flank steak or sirloin) Thinly sliced
- 1 Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar)
- 0.5 cup Chopped onion
- 0.5 cup Chopped bell pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, toss the thinly sliced steak with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Wipe the skillet clean if necessary. Lightly grease the skillet and place one tortilla in it. Sprinkle half of the tortilla with shredded cheese, then top with cooked steak, onions, and bell peppers. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can also add other vegetables like corn or jalapeños.
