Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 large bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
Trim excess fat from the skirt steak and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the sliced bell pepper and onion. Cook until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To assemble the quesadillas, lay out 2 tortillas and sprinkle each with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.
Evenly distribute the steak strips and sautéed vegetables over the cheese on each tortilla. Divide the remaining cheese and sprinkle on top of the steak and vegetables.
Top with another tortilla to form the quesadilla.
Heat a clean, non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla, pressing lightly, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Then cut them into wedges.
Serve the steak quesadillas with a side of sour cream and salsa for dipping.
