Ingredients
  

Steak Marinade
  • 1 lb Flank steak or skirt steak
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
Quesadilla Filling
  • 1 cup Bell peppers sliced, mixed colors
  • 1 cup Onion sliced
  • 2 cups Shredded cheese cheddar or Monterey Jack
  • 4 large Flour tortillas

Method
 

Prepare the Steak
  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
Cook the Vegetables
  1. In a skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the sliced bell peppers and onions over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Assemble the Quesadillas
  1. Slice the cooked steak into thin strips. On half of each tortilla, layer cheese, sautéed vegetables, and steak. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  2. In the same skillet, cook the quesadillas over medium heat until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve
  1. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
