Ingredients:

  • 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, guacamole

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Steak:
    • Season the thinly sliced flank steak with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Peppers and Onions:
    • In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and caramelized.
  3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
    • Place one tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese on half of the tortilla. Top with a layer of sautéed peppers and onions, followed by a layer of cooked steak slices. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
  4. Cook the Quesadillas:
    • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully transfer the assembled quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
