Description

These Steak Fajita Quesadillas bring together the best of Tex-Mex flavors in a crispy, cheesy package. Tender pieces of skirt steak are sautéed with bell peppers and onions, then tossed in salsa for an extra punch of flavor. The filling is then layered between two layers of melty cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, all wrapped up in a golden, crispy tortilla.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound skirt steak, diced into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
¼ cup salsa
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 flour tortillas (burrito size)


Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced steak to the skillet, spreading it out in an even layer. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the steak. Sauté the steak for 1-2 minutes per side until it’s lightly browned.
Add the diced red bell pepper and onions to the skillet with the steak. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the salsa, tossing the steak and vegetables to coat them evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to combine, then remove the skillet from the heat.
Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat or use a cast iron skillet.
Place a tortilla on the griddle or skillet. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on one half of the tortilla. Layer some of the steak and vegetable mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle more cheese on top. Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape.
Cook the quesadilla for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Watch closely as the quesadilla can brown quickly.
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board. Slice it into wedges and serve immediately.
