Steak & Cheese Quesadillas

INGREDENT

  • 1 lb (450g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, sliced
  • 1 small bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (or a blend)
  • Butter or cooking spray, for the pan

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steak:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned. Season with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Sauté Veggies:
    Add the sliced onions (and bell peppers, if using) to the same pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble Quesadillas:
    Lay a tortilla flat. On half of it, layer cheese, a portion of the steak and veggie mixture, then more cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover.
  4. Cook Quesadillas:
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add butter or spray. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve:
    Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
