These easy, cheesy steak quesadillas are packed with beef and topped with pineapple salsa. And because it's a little sweet and not too spicy, they are very kid friendly. Ingredients:
3/4 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded pepper jack cheese |
4 flour tortillas (10 inches) |
salsa: |
4 medium tomatoes, chopped |
1-1/2 cups cubed fresh pineapple |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle steak with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, saute steak in 1 tablespoon oil until no longer pink.
2. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over one side of each tortilla; top with 1/3 cup beef and remaining cheese. Fold tortillas over.
3. In another large skillet, cook two quesadillas in 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas and oil. Cut into wedges.
4. In a large bowl, combine the salsa ingredients; serve with quesadillas. Cover and refrigerate remaining salsa. Yield: 4 servings (4-1/2 cups salsa).
