Ingredients

• Tortillas: Flour tortillas1
• Cheese: Shredded Mexican-style cheese, cheddar cheese, or Monterey Jack cheese13

Instructions

Here are the step-by-step instructions to make steak fajita quesadillas:

1. Prepare the steak and vegetables: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Add the onion, peppers, and steak. Cook, stirring often, for 5-8 minutes, until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender1. Alternatively, preheat a Blackstone grill over medium-high heat. Spread vegetable oil on the grill. Place the steak on the grill, season with taco seasoning, and sauté for 1-2 minutes per side. Add diced red bell pepper and onions, and sauté with the steak for 5-7 minutes until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender3.
2. Cook with salsa (optional): Top the steak and vegetables with salsa, and toss to coat thoroughly. Sauté for a few minutes to combine the flavors3.
3. Assemble the quesadillas: Grease a large griddle or skillet with non-stick spray. Place one tortilla on the griddle, and fill with cheese and a generous amount of the steak and pepper mixture. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top, then place a second tortilla over the top1.
4. Cook the quesadillas: Cook each side of the tortilla for 1-2 minutes, until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted1. If using a Blackstone grill, push the steak and vegetables to one side, reduce the temperature to medium, place the tortillas on the grill, top with cheese, steak, vegetables, and more cheese. Fold each tortilla in half and cook until each side is golden brown3.
5. Serve: Slice the quesadillas and serve with your favorite taco toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole19.

Pro Tips

• For extra flavor, mix honey vinaigrette with sour cream for a dipping sauce7.
• To save time, use pre-cooked grilled fajita meat9.
• If you like getting quesadillas at a Mexican Restaurant you must make, Steak Fajita Quesadillas on the Blackstone3.
• You can either fold the tortilla to make a half circle or make a square by folding the sides, top, and bottom to meet in the middle7.
• After cooking the steak, let it rest before slicing7. The leftover seasoning from the steak will add delicious flavor to the vegetables7.
