Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt steak, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet heats, season the diced steak with the onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the vegetable oil to the hot skillet. Toss in the seasoned steak pieces and spread them out in a single layer. Let them sear for 2-3 minutes without stirring, then cook a few more minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly browned. Remove onions from the skillet and set aside with the steak.
- Wipe out the skillet if needed, then lower the heat to medium. Place a flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle 1/4 of the shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over half of the tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the cooked steak and onions.
- Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon and press gently. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing occasionally, until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese inside has melted.
- Remove from the skillet and let rest for 1 minute before slicing into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling to make 4 quesadillas.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
Notes
These savory quesadillas pair perfectly with a variety of sides and drinks. Fresh guacamole and salsa add cool, zesty flavors that balance the richness of the cheese and steak.
