Fajita Quesadillas Recipe
Fajita quesadillas came together one night when facing the common dilemma of not knowing what to cook, using leftover steak as creative inspiration for improvised meals. This practical recipe demonstrates how leftovers can become something completely new and exciting through creative thinking and simple techniques. The fajita flavors work perfectly in quesadilla format while leftover steak provides premium protein that elevates these beyond ordinary quesadilla preparations.
I came up with this one night when I didn’t know what to cook. I had leftover steak in the fridge, so I decided to get creative. These came out wonderful! The measurements are approximations, so feel free to change them according to your tastes. Serve with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
½ onion, sliced
½ green bell pepper, sliced
salt to taste
4 flour tortillas
½ pound cooked steak, cut into 1/4-inch thick pieces
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Directions
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in the hot oil until onions are softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Season mixture with salt and transfer to a bowl.
Brush 1 side of each tortilla with remaining oil. Place 1 tortilla, oil-side down, in the same skillet; sprinkle with 1/2 the steak, 1/2 the onion mixture, and 1/2 the Mexican cheese mixture. Place a second tortilla, oil-side up, onto cheese layer, pressing down with a spatula to seal.
Cook quesadilla over medium heat until cheese melts and tortillas are browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove quesadilla from skillet and cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining ingredients for second quesadilla.
