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.
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.
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.
