Loaded Steak Quesadillas
Loaded Steak Quesadillas are a fusion of flavors and textures featuring juicy marinated steak, caramelized onions, peppers, and gooey melted cheese all wrapped in a crispy tortilla shell.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Directions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and taco seasoning, and cook until the steak is browned and cooked through.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the sliced onion and bell pepper until they are soft and caramelized.
- Lay out a tortilla and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add a portion of the cooked steak, onions, and peppers on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the filled tortilla in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients until all the quesadillas are assembled and cooked.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
