Loaded Steak Quesadillas

Ingredients

• For the Steak
• 3/4 – 1 lbs sirloin steak
• 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground mexican oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• For the Quesadillas
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup canned fire roasted corn kernels, drained
• 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
• 1/2 an avocado, diced
• Limes wedges and fresh minced cilantro for garnish

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425˚F. Prepare a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, mix together all spices and salt for the steak. Generously coat steak with spice blend.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sear steak, no more than 3 minutes per side. The steak will cook more in the oven so make sure it’s just a sear! Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes while prepping quesadillas.
• Place 2 tortillas on the prepared sheet and sprinkle each one with 1/2 cup of the cheese.
• Top with tomatoes, corn, black beans, and avocado.
• Thinly slice steak against the grain. Place slices on top of the loaded tortillas.
• Sprinkle the rest of the cheese evenly over both quesadillas and cover with remaining tortillas.
• Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes, until cheese is melted and tortillas are warmed through.
• Remove from oven and slice as desired. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges, a dollop of sour cream and your favorite salsa and guacamole!
