Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, season the arrachera steak with salt, pepper, and any additional spices of your choice. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each flour tortilla, layer sliced arrachera steak, jack cheese, and chopped cilantro. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with pico de gallo and salsa La Puerta on the side.
