FAJITA QUESADILLAS
I came up with this one night when I didn't know what to cook. I had leftover steak in the fridge, so I decided to get creative. These came out wonderful! The measurements are approximations, so feel free to change them according to your tastes. Serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Steps:
- Cut flank steak into strips 1/4-inch wide and 3 inches long and marinate in Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, juice of 1 lime and garlic for 20 minutes.
- (Note: boneless skinless chicken breasts should be "fileted" in half before cutting into 1/4x3-inch strips).
- While meat is marinating, cut onion and bell pepper into 1/4-inch wide strips and heat in non-stick skillet with oil until they begin to sweat (don't let them become too soft).
- Remove them to a paper plate to drain.
- Drain meat and brown in same skillet until done.
- Remove to paper plate to drain.
- Wipe out the skillet so it is dry and begin to reheat it over a medium heat.
- Take one tortilla and put a small amount of grated cheese, 1/4 of the meat (or amount to suit), onion and bell pepper to suit and cover with another small amount of grated cheese and top with a tortilla.
- Carefully put "tortilla sandwich" in the heated dry skillet and cook until cheese melts (about 60-90-120 seconds). Flip and cook on other side same amount of time.
- Tortilla will take on a lovely "tanned" appearance and become just slightly crispy.
- This dinner sounds involved but is actually quite simple and very quick.
- Kids and adults both will love it served with iced tea, pico de gallo, guacamole and salsa.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut fajita meat strips or thinly slice your own flank steak or skirt steak against the grain.
- For a more flavorful quesadilla, marinate the steak in a mixture of olive oil, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the steak in a single layer. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
- Cook the steak over medium-high heat until it is cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook for 5-7 minutes per side. For medium, cook for 7-9 minutes per side. For medium-well, cook for 9-11 minutes per side.
- Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
- Use a variety of toppings for your quesadillas. Some popular options include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, and sliced avocado.
- Serve the quesadillas immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Steak fajita quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover steak, or you can cook the steak specifically for this recipe. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
