Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend)
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • pepper and salt to taste

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

  1. Cook the steak: Season the sliced steak with salt and pepper (or taco seasoning if desired). Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Sauté the sliced bell pepper for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add diced tomato and cook for 1 more minute. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet.
  3. Assemble the quesadillas: Lay tortillas flat. On half of each tortilla, layer shredded cheese, cooked steak, sautéed peppers and tomatoes, then more cheese. Fold the other half over to close.

  4. Cook the quesadillas: Wipe out the skillet if needed. Add a bit of butter or oil and heat over medium. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Let cool slightly, then cut into wedges. Serve with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole if desired.
