How to Make Quesadillas with Steak
Making steak and cheese quesadillas at home that taste like they came out of the kitchen of your favorite Mexican restaurant is easy. Let’s do this! I have so many Mexican-inspired recipes that would pair amazingly well with these quesadillas from salsas to chips to other tacos, burritos, and taquitos. Check out the recipes below the recipe card as well for more inspiration. If you want a crispier tortilla, you can add a bit of oil to the skillet and basically fry the tortilla. I don’t tend to do this because it’s a splurge with fat and calories, and frying tortillas in oil is a surefire way to smell up the house for a long time to come. But they do taste amazing if you’re tempted to try (fry)!
