Spicy Steak Quesadilla Recipes

STEAK AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the oil. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and saute for 4 minutes, until the onions have softened. Add the spinach and jalapeno, and stir for another minute until the spinach has wilted. Remove them to a bowl, and stir in the steak.
• Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium high heat. Add a half teaspoon of butter, and turn to coat the bottom of the pan. Place a tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the cheese over half of the quesadilla, and distribute 1/8 of the steak mixture over the cheese. Top that with another 3 tablespoons of the shredded cheese. Flip the bare half of the tortilla over the filling, cover the pan, and sauté for about 2 minutes until the bottom is golden and the cheese has started to melt, then use a spatula to flip the half-moon quesadilla, and continue to cook, uncovered, until all of the cheese is melted and the underside is browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the quesadilla to a cutting board and let the quesadilla sit for a minute before you slice into 2 or 3 wedges. Repeat until all of the quesadillas are cooked. Serve with steak sauce, guacamole, salsa and sour cream, as desired.
