Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt steak diced into 1 inch pieces
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 red bell pepper Diced
- 1 yellow onion Diced
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar 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 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!
