Loaded Steak Quesadillas Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Sirloin steak
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• ½ tsp Paprika
• ¼ tsp Cumin
• ¼ tsp Oregano
• ¼ tsp Garlic powder
• ¼ tsp Onion powder
• ¼ tsp Salt
• 4 Large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Taco blend shredded cheese
• ½ cup Cherry tomatoes, sliced
• ½ cup Fire-roasted corn, drained
• ½ cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
• ½ Avocado, diced
• Lime juice and chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Season the Steak: In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Season the sirloin steak with the spice mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
3. Cook the Steak: Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak to the skillet and cook until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
4. Assemble the Quesadillas: Place two large flour tortillas on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle ½ cup of taco blend shredded cheese evenly over each tortilla. Arrange the cooked steak pieces over the cheese.
5. Add Toppings: Distribute the black beans, fire-roasted corn, sliced cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado evenly over the steak.
6. Layer with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the toppings, ensuring they are evenly covered.
7. Top with Tortillas: Place the remaining two large flour tortillas on top of each loaded quesadilla to create a sandwich-like structure.
8. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Slice and Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice them into wedges and serve garnished with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro.

Tips:

• Customization: Feel free to customize these quesadillas with your favorite toppings such as sliced jalapeños, diced bell peppers, or a drizzle of salsa or sour cream.
• Cooking Steak: For best results, cook the steak to medium-rare or medium doneness to ensure it remains juicy and tender.
• Storage: Store any leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave until heated through before serving.
