Steak Quesadillas

Instructions

1. Marinate the steak
   In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the sliced steak and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
2. Cook the steak
   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated steak for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before chopping into smaller bite-sized pieces.
3. Sauté the vegetables
   In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Assemble the quesadillas
   Place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese over half of the tortilla. Top with a portion of the cooked steak, sautéed vegetables, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Add another 1/4 cup of cheese on top and fold the tortilla in half to cover the fillings.
5. Cook the quesadillas
   Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
6. Serve
   Cut each quesadilla into triangles using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, and additional cilantro if desired.
