Steak & Cheese Quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion (sliced)
• 1 small green bell pepper (sliced)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 tbsp butter (for cooking tortillas)
• Optional: sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for serving

Instructions

1. Cook the Steak:
   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak slices, season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté Veggies:
   In the same skillet, add onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
3. Assemble Quesadillas:
   Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Add a layer of cheese, then steak, sautéed veggies, and more cheese. Top with another tortilla.
4. Cook Quesadillas:
   Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in and cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
5. Slice & Serve:
   Cut into wedges and serve warm with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
