INGREDIENTS
4 oz Sirloin Steak
1 8-inch Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/2 cup sliced Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup sliced Green Bell Pepper
1/4 cup sliced Yellow Onion
1/4 cup Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by combining lime juice, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Add the sirloin steak and ensure it is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the steak marinates, slice the red and green bell peppers and yellow onion.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
In the same skillet, lightly sauté the sliced peppers and onions until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Lay the whole wheat tortilla flat and sprinkle evenly with the reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Distribute the sliced steak and sautéed vegetables over one half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Return the quesadilla to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently, until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown.
Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
