Ingredients
- 1 pound beef, thinly sliced (ribeye or sirloin recommended)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 slices provolone cheese
- ½ cup Mexican cheese blend
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Sriracha mayo or plain mayonnaise (optional)
- 4 medium flour or corn tortillas
Instructions
- Cook the Beef:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced beef, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned and tender. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Sauté the onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and minced garlic until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Combine the Filling:
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Mix well and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Assemble the Quesadillas:
- Spread a thin layer of Sriracha mayo or plain mayonnaise on each tortilla (optional).
- Distribute the beef and vegetable mixture over half of each tortilla.
- Place a slice of provolone cheese on top and sprinkle with the Mexican cheese blend.
- Fold the tortillas into half-moon shapes.
- Cook the Quesadillas:
- Heat a clean skillet over low heat and lightly grease with a small amount of oil.
- Cook each quesadilla until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Avoid overfilling the quesadillas to keep them easy to flip and prevent sogginess.
- For an extra crispy finish, press the quesadilla gently with a spatula while cooking.
