Servings: 6 quesadillas
Calories: 615kcal
Ingredients
For the quesadillas
- 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds skirt steak thinly sliced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 small sweet onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 6 large flour tortillas
To serve
- 1 cup salsa We love this Rotel Salsa recipe.
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup sour cream
- Fresh cilantro
- Limes
Instructions
- Sauté the veggies. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large heavy bottom skillet and add the bell peppers and onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and slightly caramelized. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Cook the steak. Heat 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil in that same skillet over medium-high heat and add the skirt steak. Sauté until cooked to your preferred level of doneness and then add the taco seasoning and water. Combine well and then add the sauteed veggies to the steak and give it a good stir.
- Fill the tortilla. Place a tortilla into a clean skillet over medium heat and add ¼ cup of the steak, ¼ cup of the sauteed veggies mixture, and a handful of the cheese to one side of the tortilla. Give the tortilla about 30 seconds to toast and then fold the the empty half of the tortilla over to close all of the ingredients inside.
- Cook the quesadilla. Allow the quesadilla to cook for a couple of minutes before flipping and cooking for an additional couple of minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
- Repeat. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve. Slice the quesadillas into triangles and serve topped with salsa, guac, sour cream, cilantro, and lime.
