  • Author: Jennie Graham
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F). Spread vegetable oil evenly across the cooking surface.
  2. Place diced steak on the griddle in a single layer. Season with taco seasoning. Sauté 1-2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
  3. Add diced bell pepper and onions to the steak. Sauté together for 5-7 minutes until steak cooks through and vegetables become tender.
  4. Top the steak mixture with salsa. Toss thoroughly to coat everything evenly. Sauté 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
  5. Push steak mixture to one side of griddle. Reduce temperature to medium heat.
  6. 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.
  7. Cook 1-2 minutes until bottom turns golden brown. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes. Watch closely as they brown quickly.
  8. 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
