Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced bell pepper and onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Add the diced tomato and cooked steak or chicken, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

2

Assemble the Quesadilla

On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese. Then add a portion of the filling on top of the cheese, and sprinkle more cheese on top of the filling. Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.

3

Cook the Quesadilla

In the same skillet, place the folded quesadilla and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

4

Serve

Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with rice and beans on the side.
