Ingredients

• 2 pieces Almond flour tortillas (keto-friendly)
• 6 ounces Steak (ribeye, flank, or sirloin, cooked and thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
• 1 small Bell pepper (thinly sliced, optional)
• 1 small Onion (thinly sliced, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add the thinly sliced bell pepper and onion, if using, along with a pinch of salt. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened, then remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

Season the cooked, thinly sliced steak with salt and black pepper. Reheat the steak in the skillet if necessary, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt.

Step 4

Place one almond flour tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tortilla.

Step 5

Layer half of the cooked steak over the cheese. Add some of the sautéed bell peppers and onions, if using, for extra flavor.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the steak and vegetable layer, then top with the second tortilla.

Step 7

Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, adding the remaining butter to the skillet if needed.

Step 8

Cook the second side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
