Ingredients for Steak Quesadilla

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the flank steak with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Jalapeños

    While the steak is resting, grill the jalapeños on a grill or in a skillet until they are charred and softened. Remove and slice.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On one half of each tortilla, layer a generous amount of queso mixto, followed by sliced steak, and grilled jalapeños. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In the same skillet, place the quesadillas and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove and cut into wedges.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the quesadillas hot with smoked chili salsa and Mexican crema on the side for dipping.
