Ingredients

  • 1 cup steak cooked and chopped*
  • 2 tbs oil divided
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 4 flour tortillas 8-inchs in diameter
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese grated
  • ¼ cup olives

Instructions

  • Cook steak then dice into cubes. *
    1 cup steak
    cooked steak in pan
  • In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, add bell pepper and onion and sauté until soft, approximately 8 minutes. Cover with a lid to help the process. If peppers and onion become too dry add ¼ cup or more water to help continue sautéing without burning them.
    2 tbs oil, ½ yellow onion, 1 bell pepper
    sautéed onion and bell pepper
  • Once tender, remove the bell pepper and onions and set aside. Wipe out the skillet, add ½ tbs oil and heat over medium heat. Fold tortillas in half then place two in the pan at a time. Stuff with cheese, steak, peppers, onion, and olives.
    4 flour tortillas, 1 cup cheddar cheese grated, 1 cup pepper jack cheese, ¼ cup olives

Notes

Tips and Tricks:
  • *You can use any type of steak for this recipe. I love a Flat Iron, NY Strip, Ribeye or even Tri Tip. Add a little oil into a pan and cook until an internal temp of 130°F is reached.
  • *If you want to add some heat add fresh or pickled jalapenos or green chile to the quesadilla!
