Spicy Lime Steak Quesadilla with Bell Peppers
Savor a fiery twist on the classic quesadilla with tender slices of flank steak, vibrant bell peppers, and a zesty lime kick. This dish balances smoky spice with fresh citrus, wrapped in a warm whole wheat tortilla for a satisfying taste adventure.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Flank Steak
1/2 medium Red Bell Pepper
1/2 medium Green Bell Pepper
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
2 tablespoons Lime Juice
1 teaspoon Chipotle Powder
1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain and place in a bowl.
Add lime juice, chipotle powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to the steak. Toss to coat evenly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Thinly slice the red and green bell peppers.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the marinated steak slices for 2-3 minutes per side until desired doneness is reached.
Lower the heat to medium. Place the whole wheat tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the reduced-fat cheddar cheese on one half of the tortilla.
Layer the cooked steak, sautéed bell peppers, and then top with the remaining cheese.
Fold the tortilla over to create a quesadilla and cook for an additional 2 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown.
Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
