Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sliced onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced bell pepper
  • 8 ounces cooked steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: Sour cream, salsa, guacamole for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced steak, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the steak is heated through. Remove the steak and vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Wipe out the skillet if needed. Place one tortilla in the dry skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of Monterey Jack cheese and 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over half of the tortilla.
  4. Top the cheese with half of the steak and vegetable mixture. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the filling.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  6. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and cut into wedges. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder with the other spices.
  • If you don’t have leftover steak, you can cook a fresh steak and slice it thinly before adding it to the vegetables.
  • This recipe is a great way to use up leftover steak from a previous meal.
  • Consider this a simple alternative to some meal planning services, offering a quick and satisfying meal.
