STEAK CHEESE STEAK QUESADILLAS

Recipe Directions

Let’s cook up some deliciousness with these Steak and Cheese Quesadillas:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced flank steak with the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the steak is evenly coated with the seasoning.
2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
3. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel, then return it to the heat. Place one flour tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla.
4. Arrange half of the cooked steak over the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the steak. Top with another flour tortilla.
5. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second quesadilla.
7. Once both quesadillas are cooked, use a sharp knife to cut them into wedges.
8. Serve the Steak and Cheese Quesadillas hot, with your favorite toppings and dipping sauces on the side.
