Main Ingredients
- 0.5 pound Skirt steak thinly sliced against the grain
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 Flour tortillas 8-inch

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a bowl, toss the sliced steak with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the steak is evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean if necessary. Place one tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle half of one side with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Top with some of the cooked steak. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. Repeat with remaining tortillas, cheese, and steak.
- Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can also add finely chopped onions and bell peppers to the steak while cooking.
