Pepper Steak Quesadillas Recipes

STEAK QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Cutting against the grain, slice the steak with a very sharp knife into thin strips, no more than a 1/4" thick. Transfer to a mixing bowl, along with the taco seasoning. Massage the taco seasoning into the beef until evenly coated and set aside.
• Add oil to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is heated through, spread the steak strips evenly across the skillet and allow to sear for 1 1/2 minute. Do not jostle or move strips around. Turn the steak strips over and cook 1-2 minutes.
• If the pan is dry, add another 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Add the diced peppers and onion and sauté 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until softened. Transfer the vegetables to a small bowl and set aside.
• Wipe the pan clean and place over medium-low heat. Add a light drizzle of oil to the pan and allow to come to temperature.
• Carefully, place 1 flour tortilla on the pan and scatter about a 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the entire tortilla. Then, to only one half of the tortilla, add steak strips and a scatter of the onion and pepper mixture.
• Once the cheese starts to melt (about 1 minute), use a spatula to fold the side with cheese only over the steak side. Hold the quesadilla down with your spatula until the filling has melded together, about 30 seconds to 1 minute more.
• Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding an additional light drizzle of oil to the pan as needed. Cut in halves or quarters, serve and enjoy!

GRILLED STEAK, CHIPOTLE AND PEPPER JACK QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill over medium.
• Whisk the garlic, cumin, lime and oranges juices and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the steak, coat well in the mixture and let marinade for 10 minutes.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steak, flipping once, until medium rare, 2 to 6 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and reserve.
• Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup pepper-jack cheese. Add 1/4 of the steak and some chopped chipotle in adobo and sauce. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
• Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole, salsa, scallions and sour cream.
