Ingredients

• 1 pound skirt steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 large bell pepper, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1

Trim excess fat from the skirt steak and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the desired level of doneness is reached. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the sliced bell pepper and onion. Cook until soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

To assemble the quesadillas, lay out 2 tortillas and sprinkle each with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the steak strips and sautéed vegetables over the cheese on each tortilla. Divide the remaining cheese and sprinkle on top of the steak and vegetables.

Step 7

Top with another tortilla to form the quesadilla.

Step 8

Heat a clean, non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla, pressing lightly, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove the cooked quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Then cut them into wedges.

Step 10

Serve the steak quesadillas with a side of sour cream and salsa for dipping.
