Ingredients:
1 lb thinly sliced steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional: sliced mushrooms, jalapeños, or avocado for topping
Optional: salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for serving
Instructions:
In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add thinly sliced steak and cook until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced bell pepper and onion. Cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Lay out one flour tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
Arrange some cooked steak slices, cooked bell pepper, and onion over the cheese.
Sprinkle another layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the steak, bell pepper, and onion.
Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the other side is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes more.
Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before cutting into wedges.
Serve hot, optionally topped with sliced mushrooms, jalapeños, or avocado, and accompanied by salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for dipping.
