Loaded Steak Quesadillas

 

 If you love Spanish food, you will love this recipe. It’s delicious and very easy to make.

 

For the Steak:

3/4 – 1 lb sirloin steak

1 teaspoon ancho chili powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ground oregano

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Pinch of cayenne pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

For the Quesadillas

4 large flour tortillas

2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 can fire-roasted fire-roasted corn kernel, drained

1/2 cup canned black beans, drained

1/2 an avocado, diced

Limes wedges and fresh minced cilantro for garnish

 

Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine all of the steak seasonings and salt. Coat the steak generously with the spice mixture. In a large pan over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sear the steak for 3 minutes per side. The steak will cook more in the oven, so only sear it! Remove from heat and set aside for 5 minutes while you prepare the quesadillas. Place 2 tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and top with 1/2 cup of cheese. Serve with tomatoes, corn, black beans, and avocado on top. Thinly slice the meat across the grain. Top the stuffed tortillas with slices. Spread the remaining cheese evenly over both quesadillas and top with the remaining tortillas. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are heated. Remove from the oven and cut as desired. Serve with lime wedges, a dollop of sour cream, and your favorite salsa and guacamole!
