Method

Preparation of Meat

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet used for the steak, add diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in chopped cilantro.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of a flour tortilla, layer sliced steak, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

  2. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
