Description

Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas combine the savory flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak with the crispy, cheesy goodness of a quesadilla. A quick and satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • Butter or cooking spray for the skillet

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced beef and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 3–4 minutes or until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Return the beef to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Remove from heat.
  4. Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle one half with cheese, then top with the beef and veggie mixture, and more cheese. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
  7. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use shaved steak or thinly sliced deli roast beef for convenience.
  • Swap in your favorite cheese like cheddar or American.
  • Serve with a side of sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce if desired.
