Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the steak and diced onions in the skillet in an even layer. Season the steak with salt, pepper and onion powder. Sauté the steak for 4-8 minutes per side until it’s browned slightly and cooked through.
- Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before assembling the quesadillas.
- Heat a griddle over medium high heat or you can heat a cast iron skillet.
- Place the tortillas on the griddle or skillet. Top each tortilla with a small amount of each cheese, then layer the steak and onions on top and then add more cheese. Carefully fold each tortilla in half making a half moon shape.
- Cook until one side of the tortilla is golden brown (1-2 minutes). Flip and then cook until the other side is golden brown as well (1-2 minutes). Watch them closely as they brown quickly.
- Remove the quesadillas onto a cutting board. Slice them and they are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- We used skirt steak for this recipe but you can also use flank steak if you prefer.
