Steak Quesadillas

lb flank or skirt steak

salt

onion powder

cumin

garlic powder

olive oil, (divided)

onion, (sliced)

mozzarella cheese

monterey jack cheese

(8-inch) flour tortillas

salsa

guacamole

sour cream

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet is heating up, pat steak dry on both sides with paper towels.

In a small bowl, combine salt, onion powder, black pepper, cumin, and garlic powder.

Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the steak.

Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and add the steak. Cook on each side for about 4-8 minutes, depending on how thick the steak is and how “done” you want it to be.

Remove the steak from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board to let it rest.

While the meat is resting, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, until softened.

Transfer the onions to a bowl and carefully wipe off the inside of the skillet with a few paper towels until clean. Set aside.

Uncover the steak and slice it against the grain at an angle into thin slices or into bite-sized chunks.

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and monterey jack cheeses.

Assemble the quesadillas by adding 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the bottom of one tortilla, followed by some steak, then onions, and one more 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and then top everything with one more tortilla.

Place the clean skillet back on the stove over medium heat. Using a spatula, carefully transfer the quesadilla to the skillet.

Cook the quesadillas for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom of the quesadilla is golden-brown. Quickly flip over the quesadilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden-brown and the cheese has fully melted.

Assemble and cook the remaining quesadillas.

Serve immediately as is, or cut the quesadillas into fourths. Serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

This steak quesadilla features tender, juicy skirt steak, flavorful veggies, and tons of melty cheese. All sandwiched within a golden, crispy tortilla.

Steak Quesadilla

paprika

chili powder

cayenne powder

mexican oregano

skirt steak (or flank steak)

avocado oil

bell peppers (color of choice, chopped, seeds

yellow onion (thinly sliced)

8 inch flour tortillas

quesadilla cheese

In a small bowl combine the spices for the fajita seasoning. 

Pat the steak dry on both sides.

Evenly sprinkle the fajita seasoning on both sides of the steak (there will be some seasoning left for the onions and peppers). Let this sit for 15-20 minutes while prepping the rest of the recipe.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with one tablespoon of avocado oil. 

Add the steak in the skillet and cook on each side for approximately 3-5 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees F. 

Remove the steak and place on a cutting board, loosely cover with foil or parchment paper and let rest. 

While the steak rests, cook the bell peppers and onions in the same skillet. Drizzle the skillet with the avocado oil, add the peppers and onions, and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning. 

Stir to coat the peppers and onions in the seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. 

Slice the steak thinly against the grain and then give a rough chop to make bite size pieces. 

Prepare the quesadillas by placing a flour tortilla on a clean comal or skillet heated over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the tortilla with the shredded cheese, then add a layer of chopped steak, top with the peppers and onions, then sprinkle with additional cheese. 

Fold the tortilla over and cook for 2-3 minutes until toasted, and golden. 

Flip and continue cooking the other side an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is completely melted and both sides of the tortilla are toasted and golden. 

Continue cooking in batches until all tortillas are cooked. 

Serve quesadillas with any additional toppings or sauces as desired.
