Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. cumin
- 1/8 tsp. paprika
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 lb. flank steak
- 1 Tbsp. avocado oil
- 4 flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 12 oz. shredded Mexican cheese (queso asadero or queso Oaxaca)
- fresh toppings (salsa, shredded lettuce, sour cream)
Instructions
- In a small pinch bowl, mix together sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Season steak by sprinkling spice mixture over both sides of the steak and lightly pat into steak.
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or grill pan and add steak, cooking for about 4-6 minutes per side. (Because the thickness of steaks will vary, it’s best to use a meat thermometer and cook to 140 degrees F for medium doneness.) Set meat aside and let rest for 10 minutes until thinly slicing.
- Assemble quesadillas. In large skillet over medium heat, layer 1/3 cup shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Top with thinly sliced steak and another 1/3 cup shredded cheese.
- Fold over top and cook for about 2-3 minutes, and when cheese starts to melt, carefully flip over with large flipper and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining 3 quesadillas.
- Cut into wedges and serve with toppings.
Notes
- Topping ideas: shredded lettuce, sliced grape tomatoes, avocado, salsa, sour cream, hot sauce (see list above in post)
- Estimated nutrition facts do not include toppings.
