Preparation
- Season the steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Let it rest, then slice thinly against the grain.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the bell pepper and onion over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until softened. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Assembly and Cooking
- Wipe the skillet clean, reduce heat to medium-low, and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half with cheese, layer with sliced steak, and sautéed vegetables. Top with more cheese and fold the tortilla.
- Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, press gently. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board, let it rest for 1 minute, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
