Fajita Quesadillas
DHANO923
"I came up with this one night when I didn't know what to cook. I had leftover steak in the fridge, so I decided to get creative. These came out wonderful! The measurements are approximations, so feel free to change them according to your tastes. Serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream."

Ready In
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in the hot oil until onions are softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season mixture with salt and transfer to a bowl.
- Brush 1 side of each tortilla with remaining oil. Place 1 tortilla, oil-side down, in the same skillet; sprinkle with 1/2 the steak, 1/2 the onion mixture, and 1/2 the Mexican cheese mixture. Place a second tortilla, oil-side up, onto cheese layer, pressing down with a spatula to seal.
- Cook quesadilla over medium heat until cheese melts and tortillas are browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove quesadilla from skillet and cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients for second quesadilla.

we make versions of this all the time. Place the tortilla in a lightly oiled pan and put the stuff on half, fold it over and press down. Add another tortilla and fill half, fold it over. The f...

Quick, easy and delicious. I used chicken breast rather than steak. Grilled them on a quesadilla maker. Served them with 'Quesadilla Jalapeño Spread' and 'Rice Elena', both from AR.

Really good! I made this tonight and my husband & I both loved it. I exchanged the steak for black beans to keep it vegetarian and it was great. We topped with salsa, sour cream & guacamole -- s...
