Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla

How to make Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté onions and bell peppers until softened and caramelized, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 3: Return the cooked steak to the skillet and mix with the peppers and onions. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the pan, sprinkle half with cheese, then add the steak mixture and more cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over.

Step 5: Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 6: Remove from skillet, slice into wedges, and garnish with parsley if desired. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
