Instructions
1. Cook the Steak:
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced steak and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the Onions:
In the same skillet, add a small drizzle of oil or butter. Add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside with the steak.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on half of each tortilla. Add a generous spoonful of the cooked steak and caramelized onions, then top with another layer of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling.
4. Cook the Quesadillas:
Wipe the skillet clean and melt a bit of butter or oil over medium heat. Place the folded quesadillas in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy. The cheese should be melted, and the tortilla perfectly toasted.
