Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt steak diced into 1 inch pieces
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion Diced
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 1/2 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 4 Flour Tortillas burrito size
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!
