Lime-Marinated Steak and Bell Pepper Quesadillas
Enjoy a zesty twist on a classic, featuring lean steak marinated in lime, garlic, and cilantro, paired with sweet bell peppers and melty reduced-fat cheddar cheese layered between whole wheat tortillas. This quesadilla is balanced, flavorful, and perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Sirloin Steak
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1 ounce Reduced-Fat Cheddar Cheese
1/2 cup sliced Bell Peppers
1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro, chopped
PREPARATION
Combine lime juice, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl to create a marinade.
Place the lean sirloin steak in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes, turning occasionally for even coating.
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust time according to your preferred doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
In a separate non-stick skillet, warm the whole wheat tortilla over medium heat. Scatter the sliced steak, bell pepper slices, and sprinkle the reduced-fat cheddar cheese evenly on one half of the tortilla.
Fold the tortilla in half over the filling, pressing gently to secure. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the tortilla turns golden brown.
Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
