👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Steak

1. Season steak with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare) or to desired doneness.

4. Let rest 5–10 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

2️⃣ Sauté Veggies

• In the same skillet, add a little oil or butter and sauté onions, bell peppers, and jalapeños until soft, 4–5 minutes.

• Remove from heat.

3️⃣ Assemble Quesadillas

• Place a tortilla on a clean surface.

• Layer cheese, sliced steak, sautéed veggies, and more cheese on top (cheese on both sides helps hold it together).

• Top with second tortilla.

4️⃣ Cook Quesadillas

1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

2. Add ½ tbsp butter or oil.

3. Cook quesadilla 3–4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until golden and cheese is melted.

4. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.

5️⃣ Slice & Serve

• Cut into wedges.

• Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

✨ Tips for Perfect Steak Quesadillas

• Thinly slice steak after resting — keeps it tender.

• Low and slow when cooking quesadillas prevents burning while melting cheese.

• Layer cheese on both sides for the best “glue.”

• Add fresh greens or avocado inside for extra flavor.
