Ingredients

• 8 oz Ribeye steak (or any steak of choice)
• 4 Keto-friendly tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Guacamole (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Start by seasoning the steak. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning blend evenly over both sides of the steak.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the pan is hot, sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or cook to your preferred level of doneness.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice the steak into thin strips against the grain, and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the keto quesadillas. Lay out two keto-friendly tortillas. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese on one side of each tortilla.

Step 5

Add an even layer of sliced steak on top of the cheese. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over the steak.

Step 6

Top each quesadilla with another keto-friendly tortilla to form a sandwich.

Step 7

In a clean skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the second quesadilla, adding another tablespoon of butter as needed.

Step 9

Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, serve with sour cream and guacamole on the side for dipping.
