Transform your dinner routine with these mouthwatering steak quesadillas – easy, cheesy, and absolutely delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. Sirloin steak
- ½ tsp. Paprika
- 1 tsp. Chili powder
- ¼ tsp. Oregano
- ¼ tsp. Cumin
- ¼ tsp. Onion powder
- ¼ tsp. Garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. Salt
- 2 C. Taco blend shredded cheese
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- ½ C. Cherry tomatoes sliced
- ½ C. Black beans rinsed and drained
- ½ C. Fire roasted corn drained
- ½ Avocado diced
- Lime juice and chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
1. Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet for easy cleanup.
2. Mix Up the Magic: In a small bowl, combine chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. This spice mix will give your steak a mouthwatering flavor.
3. Season and Sear: Generously coat the steak with your spice mixture. Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak to your preferred level of doneness. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
4. Build Your Quesadillas: Place two large flour tortillas on your prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle ½ cup of cheese on each tortilla, then evenly distribute the steak pieces over the top.
5. Add the Goodies: Top your steak with beans, corn, tomatoes, and avocado. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the loaded tortillas for extra gooey goodness.
6. Finish It Off: Place another large tortilla on top of each quesadilla, pressing down gently. Pop them in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
7. Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven, slice into wedges, and garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade quesadillas!
