Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 2 medium-sized Peaches
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub flank steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
To make the hot peach salsa, dice the peaches and finely chop the jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro. Combine them in a bowl with lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla, then add sliced steak and a small spoonful of the hot peach salsa. Top with a little more cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining tortillas, steak, and cheese.
Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with extra peach salsa on the side.
