Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 flour tortillas, each 12 inches in diameter
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) sirloin steaks, grilled, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, minced
3/4 cup salsa, drained of excess liquid
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

Place 2 of the flour tortillas on a work surface; evenly spread 1/4 cup of the cheese on top of each tortilla. Divide the steak evenly between the 2 tortillas. Sprinkle with jalapeno to taste. Spoon 1/4 cup of the salsa over each; top with the remaining cheese. Place another tortilla on top of each quesadilla; press down firmly with your hands to seal.
Heat a large skillet over high heat; add 1 1/2 teaspoon of the oil. Lower heat to medium; transfer one of the quesadillas to the pan. Cook until bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Slide quesadilla to a dinner plate; invert another plate over it. Hold them together; flip plates to leave the quesadilla browned side up. Slide tortilla back into the hot pan to cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadilla.

Tips:

Choose the right steak: Flank steak or skirt steak are great options for quesadillas because they are thin and cook quickly. You can also use leftover steak, which will add extra flavor to your quesadilla.
Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and chili powder will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
Cook the steak properly: Cook the steak over high heat until it is cooked to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 3 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for about 4 minutes per side.
Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your quesadilla more flavorful and pliable. If you can't find fresh tortillas, you can use store-bought tortillas, but make sure they are soft and pliable.
Add your favorite toppings: Quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, beans, rice, vegetables, or salsa.
