Fajita Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Fajita Quesadilla Directions

1

Marinate and Prepare the Meat

In a bowl, combine the skirt steak or chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2

Grill the Meat

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated meat for about 5-7 minutes on each side until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add sliced onions and poblano pepper. Sauté until they are softened and slightly charred, about 5-6 minutes.

4

Slice the Meat

Once the meat has rested, slice it thinly against the grain.

5

Assemble the Quesadilla

On a tortilla, layer the grilled meat, sautéed vegetables, and Mexican blend cheese. Top with another tortilla.

6

Cook the Quesadilla

In a clean skillet, cook the assembled quesadilla over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7

Serve

Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with guacamole, smoked pico de gallo, and Mexican crema on the side.
