Creole Steak Quesadillas
A flavorful twist on classic quesadillas with juicy, seasoned steak and a touch of Creole spice for extra kick!
Ingredients:
1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 large flour tortillas
1/2 cup diced onions
1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (red or green)
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Steak:
Season the steak slices with Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Vegetables:
In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Sauté until softened and slightly caramelized, about 3 minutes.
Assemble the Quesadillas:
On one side of each tortilla, layer a handful of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, followed by cooked steak and sautéed vegetables. Top with more cheese and fold the tortilla over.
Cook the Quesadillas:
Wipe the skillet clean, then heat over medium. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Serve:
Slice into wedges, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, and enjoy with a side of salsa or sour cream!
