Ingredients:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and cook until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Preheat a separate skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one flour tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle a layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese over half of the tortilla.
  4. Arrange some of the cooked steak slices and sautéed vegetables over the cheese layer. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently with a spatula to seal the quesadilla.
  6. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
  9. Serve the steak fajita quesadillas hot, with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side for dipping, if desired.

Conclusion:

Steak Fajita Quesadillas are a delicious and satisfying meal that combines the bold flavors of fajitas with the comfort of melted cheese and crispy tortillas. Whether enjoyed as a quick weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing appetizer, these quesadillas are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
