Ingredients
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Minced Pickled Jalapenos
- 2 teaspoons pickled jalapeño juice
- 2/3 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Dash salt
For the Quesadillas:
- 1 pound sirloin steaks chopped
- 1 Tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 burrito size flour tortillas
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 2 Slices American cheese
Instructions
- Mix together all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in the steak. Season it with salt and pepper. Sauté until the steak is cooked through. Remove from the heat. Let rest for 5 minutes. Then cut the steak into thin slices.
- 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!
