Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    If using steak, grill or pan-sear it until cooked to your liking, then slice thinly. If using tuna, sear it lightly on the outside, leaving the inside rare.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly on the tortilla, add the cooked protein if using, and top with the second tortilla.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, then carefully flip it over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the other side is golden.

  4. 4

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it cool for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve with lime sour cream.
