Description
Crispy flour tortillas filled with seasoned skirt steak, melted cheese, and sautéed vegetables cooked to perfection on a Blackstone griddle. Restaurant-quality Mexican cuisine ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound skirt steak, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- ¼ cup salsa
- 1½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F). Spread vegetable oil evenly across the cooking surface.
- Place diced steak on the griddle in a single layer. Season with taco seasoning. Sauté 1-2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- Add diced bell pepper and onions to the steak. Sauté together for 5-7 minutes until steak cooks through and vegetables become tender.
- Top the steak mixture with salsa. Toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Sauté 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
- Push steak mixture to one side of griddle. Reduce temperature to medium heat.
- Place tortillas on griddle. Add small amount of both cheeses, layer steak mixture on top, then add more cheese. Fold tortillas into half-moon shapes.
- Cook 1-2 minutes until bottom turns golden brown. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes. Watch closely as they brown quickly.
- Transfer quesadillas to cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Let your steak come to room temperature before cooking for more even results and better searing
- Don’t overfill quesadillas – too much filling makes them difficult to flip and causes ingredients to spill out
- Use two spatulas when flipping for better control and to prevent filling from falling out
- Keep completed quesadillas warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the rest of the batch
- Pre-shred your own cheese for better melting – pre-packaged shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents
