Instructions

Creating Crispy Steak Quesadilla Recipe You’ll Love is simple with these clear steps. Follow along to ensure a perfect outcome every time:

1. Prepare the Steak: Season the flank steak with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure both sides are evenly coated.

2. Sear the Steak: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preference.

3. Rest the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep the juices inside, making it more flavorful.

4. Slice the Steak: Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain. This makes it tender and easier to bite into when served.

5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they’re soft and slightly caramelized.

6. Assemble Quesadillas: On one half of each tortilla, layer sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, and a generous handful of shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half over the fillings.

7. Cook Quesadillas: Wipe the skillet clean if necessary, then return it to medium heat. Place the folded quesadillas in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
