Description

Steak & Cheese Quesadillas are a deliciously satisfying meal that’s quick to make and packed with flavor. These crispy golden tortillas are filled with tender strips of steak, melted cheese, and optional veggies, making every bite a cheesy, savory delight.


Ingredients

  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of Monterey Jack and mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp oil or butter for cooking
  • Optional: sautéed onions, bell peppers, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil or butter.
  2. Place one tortilla in the pan and sprinkle a generous amount of cheese over one half.
  3. Add a layer of sliced steak and any optional veggies.
  4. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling and press down gently with a spatula.
  5. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from skillet, let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges.

Notes

  • Use leftover grilled steak for extra convenience.
  • Customize with different cheeses or proteins like chicken or ground beef.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
