Steak Quesadillas
Bursting with big beefy flavor and plenty of cheese, these easy steak quesadillas are made in the oven so you can make several at once! Optional to replace the avocados for guacamole. You can also serve it with salsa and chips on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
For the Quesadillas:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend, shredded
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced
- ½ cup canned fire roasted corn kernels, drained (we buy at Trader Joe’s)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425˚F. Lay down a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together all spices and salt and rub all over the steak.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear steak, no more than 3 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes while prepping quesadillas.
- Place 2 tortillas on the baking sheet and sprinkle each one with ½ cup of the shredded cheese.
- Next, top with tomatoes, corn, black beans, and avocado.
