Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Place the steak on the skillet in an even layer. Season it with the taco seasoning. Sauté the steak for 1-2 minutes per side until it’s browned slightly.
- Then add in the red bell pepper and onions and sauté them with the steak for 5-7 minutes until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Then top the steak and vegetables with salsa and toss to thoroughly coat the mixture with the salsa. Sauté for a few minutes to combine the flavors. Then remove the mixture from the heat.
- 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 vegetables 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.
