These Steak & Cheese Quesadillas are a delicious twist on the classic Mexican dish, combining tender steak, savory sautéed vegetables, and gooey melted cheese sandwiched between crispy tortillas.

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 9 oz flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 small onion, finely sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced

For assembling:

  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
  • Fresh chopped parsley (garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet, add steak, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until browned. Set aside.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, cook bell pepper, onion, and garlic until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble quesadillas: Layer cheese, steak, vegetables, and more cheese between tortillas to make two sandwiches.
  4. Cook quesadillas: Melt butter in a skillet, cook each quesadilla until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Rest, cut into wedges, and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize these quesadillas with your favorite toppings like sliced jalapeños or avocado.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a dollop of salsa or sour cream on the side.
