Cooking spray or extra olive oil for the skillet
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
02 -
In the same skillet, add additional oil if required. Sauté the onion and green bell pepper for approximately 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized. Transfer to a separate plate.
03 -
Lay a flour tortilla flat on a work surface. Sprinkle a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheese on half the tortilla. Evenly layer with cooked steak and sautéed vegetables, then add a second sprinkle of cheese. Fold the tortilla to enclose the filling.
04 -
Coat a large skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium. Place the folded quesadilla onto the hot surface. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the exterior is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
05 -
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Accompany with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Allow steaks to rest before slicing to retain juiciness.
