Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Add the steak or chicken and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Meat

    Place the marinated steak or chicken on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for chicken or 7-10 minutes per side for steak, or until cooked through. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer shredded cheese and sliced grilled meat. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 5

    Grill the Quesadilla

    Place the quesadilla on the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the grill and let it cool for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream, salsa, and chopped cilantro, if desired.
