Ingredients

Scale

1 pound flank steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bell pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Marinate the flank steak by mixing olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Rub the mixture over the steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
In the same skillet, sauté sliced bell peppers and onions until soft but still crisp (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
Slice the cooked steak into thin strips. On half of each tortilla, layer cheese, sautéed vegetables, and steak strips. Fold the tortilla in half.
Cook each folded quesadilla in the skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese melts. Cut into wedges before serving.
