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.

FAJITA QUESADILLAS



Fajita Quesadillas image

A delicious and fast crowd pleaser with a south of the border flavor that will have you spending time with your family instead of slaving over a hot stove for hours.

Provided by Danger OReilly

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb flank steaks or 1 lb chicken breast, marinated
chopped garlic (in a jar is easiest)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 lime
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons liquid smoke (mesquite flavor my favorite)
1 large white onion
2 large green bell peppers
2 cups grated cheddar cheese (both is better) or 2 cups grated monterey jack cheese (both is better)
flour tortilla
guacamole (recommended) (optional)
salsa (recommended) (optional)
salt and pepper

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.
