Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 1 green pepper cored and sliced
- 1 large onion sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoon butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, adobo sauce, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
- Then, add the sirloin steak and toss to coat well on both sides. Then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
Saute the veggies
- In a cast iron skillet or non stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion and sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring often until the onion becomes translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Remove the veggies from the skillet and place in a bowl or on a plate and set aside.
Cook the steak
- Place the marinated steak in the same skillet and sear the meat over medium heat for 2-3 minutes then flip and cook and cook until desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from the pan and allow it to rest on a plate or cutting board for about 5 minutes. Then slice it against the grain into thin slices (for the most tender bites) and then into smaller cubes.
Assemble the quesadillas
- Add a ½ tablespoon of butter to the skillet and melt in over medium-low heat. Place a flour tortilla in the pan and add ½ cup of shredded mozzarella, some of the sautéed veggies, and steak onto it.
- Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2 minute until golden brown. Then flip in over and cook for another 1-2 minute until the cheese has melted.
- Serve the quesadillas with any favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lime juice, or chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Make them spicy by adding diced jalapenos.
- Use red , orange or yellow bell peppers or a combination.
- Swap the sirloin steak for a ribeye, NY strip steak, flank steak etc..
- Use any cheese you'd like other than mozzarella. Monterey Jack, Colby or even pepper jack, cheddar or a blend of a few to make your own Mexican blend.
- Grating you own cheese off of a cheese block is best for melting.
- Nutritional information does not include additional toppings.
