Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound thinly sliced steak (ribeye or sirloin)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Optional: sour cream or salsa, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Season the steak with salt and pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate and let rest before slicing into strips.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and caramelized.
- To assemble, lay a tortilla flat and place a quarter of the steak on one half. Add sautéed peppers and onions, then sprinkle with ¼ cup of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and press down gently.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook the folded quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas. Slice into wedges and serve warm with optional sour cream or salsa.
Notes
Customize the filling with additional veggies or different types of cheese.
Ensure vegetables are not overly moist to prevent sogginess.
