1
Marinate the Steak
Season the hanger steak with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and grated ginger. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
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 the desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
3
Slice the Steak
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
4
Assemble the Quesadilla
On one half of each flour tortilla, layer the shredded cheese blend, sliced steak, and avocado. Fold the tortilla in half.
5
Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet or on the grill, cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
6
Serve
Cut the quesadilla into wedges, top with micro cilantro, and serve with your favorite salsa or dipping sauce.
