Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 can (15 1/2 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
2 plum tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 strip steak (8 ounces and 1 inch thick)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 teaspoons olive oil
4 flour tortillas (10-inch or burrito-style)
1 1/2 cups grated pepper Jack cheese (6 ounces)
1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine black beans, cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, and cayenne; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Rub steak with oregano; season with salt and pepper. In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over high. Add steak to skillet, and cook, turning once, until browned and still rare, 2 to 3 minutes per side. (Steak will cook a little longer in the quesadillas during baking.) Transfer steak to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes before slicing 1/4 inch thick.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Brush one side of each tortilla with remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Place 1 tortilla, oiled side down, on each of two baking sheets. Dividing evenly, layer with half the cheese, then onion and steak, ending with remaining cheese. Top with remaining tortillas, oiled side up. Press lightly to seal. Bake, turning over once (with a wide spatula), until lightly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; cut each quesadilla into 6 triangles. Serve with black-bean salsa and sour cream.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best quesadillas he's ever had.

I'm not a big fan of steak, but I really enjoyed these quesadillas. The steak was tender and flavorful, and the cheese and other fillings were a great complement.

These quesadillas were easy to make and turned out great! I used skirt steak instead of flank steak and it worked perfectly. The marinade really helped to flavor the steak.

I made these quesadillas for a party and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them! The steak was cooked perfectly and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

I love that this recipe uses flank steak. It's a relatively inexpensive cut of meat, but it's so flavorful when cooked properly. The marinade in this recipe really helps to tenderize the steak and give it a delicious flavor.

These steak quesadillas were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and the tortillas were perfectly crispy. I'll definitely be making these again.
