Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Flank Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it’s fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for more flavor.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Grill the Flank Steak

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  2. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  3. 5

    Slice the Steak

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Making the Quesadillas

  1. 6

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, layer with shredded cheese, sliced flank steak, cilantro, and jalapeños if using. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  2. 7

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  3. 8

    Repeat

    Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Serving

  1. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice them into wedges. Serve warm with sour cream on the side.
