ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas, each 12 inches in diameter
- 3⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (8 ounce) sirloin steaks, grilled, thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 3⁄4 cup salsa, drained of excess liquid
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
directions
- Place 2 of the flour tortillas on a work surface; evenly spread 1/4 cup of the cheese on top of each tortilla. Divide the steak evenly between the 2 tortillas. Sprinkle with jalapeno to taste. Spoon 1/4 cup of the salsa over each; top with the remaining cheese. Place another tortilla on top of each quesadilla; press down firmly with your hands to seal.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat; add 1 1/2 teaspoon of the oil. Lower heat to medium; transfer one of the quesadillas to the pan. Cook until bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Slide quesadilla to a dinner plate; invert another plate over it. Hold them together; flip plates to leave the quesadilla browned side up. Slide tortilla back into the hot pan to cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining quesadilla.

Excellent, quick, and satisfying. Goes well with a sour cream dipping sauce.

I'm a 24 year old who works in the Chicago theater community. I have a little bit of a food obsession and love to plan meals, cook for myself, cook for my girlfriend, and cook for large groups of people.
My friends and I have a weekly "Food Club" where I make them food and they bring me booze. It's pretty much awesome- I get to cook and eat AND get free beer. It changes weekly depending what's cooking, but we have Grill Club, Chili Club, Taco Club, Soup Club- you get the idea.
