Taco Bell Steak Quesadilla
Description
This recipe starts with creating a sauce blending mayonnaise, minced pickled jalapeños, jalapeño juice, sugar, cumin, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and a dash of salt. The sirloin steak is cooked in oil and seasoned with salt and black pepper, then rested and sliced thinly. Flour tortillas are filled with a combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and American cheeses, topped with the sliced steak on one half, while the other half is brushed with the prepared sauce.
The tortillas fold over the filling and cook on medium heat until the exterior crisps to golden brown and the cheese melts thoroughly, flipping as needed. The process repeats until all four quesadillas are made. The final quesadillas have a balance of creamy sauce, melted cheese, and tender steak wrapped in a crisp flour tortilla.
These quesadillas are best served immediately but can be stored in airtight containers for up to three days. Reheating is possible but fresh is preferred to maintain texture and flavor.
Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons jalapeños minced, pickled

Instructions

- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lay a tortilla on the griddle or skillet once heated.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of each of the shredded cheeses and half of the American cheese slices onto half of the tortillas. Spread 1/4 of the steak mixture on top of the cheeses.
- Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the sauce onto the other side of the tortillas (without the cheese and steak).
- Fold the tortilla in half. Cook until golden brown and the cheese starts to melt. Flip and cook until the other side is browned as well.
- Remove from the skillet or griddle. Continue this process until all the quesadillas are made.
- Then they are ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
