Crispy Whole Wheat Steak and Bell Pepper Quesadillas
Enjoy a flavorful twist on traditional quesadillas with tender strips of seasoned steak, crisp bell peppers, and a hint of caramelized onions, all enveloped in a whole wheat tortilla. The light infusion of low-fat cheddar gives a creamy balance to the crunchy, savory filling, making this meal both satisfying and nutritionally balanced.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Steak (sirloin)
1 whole wheat tortilla
1/2 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/4 cup sliced onion
1/4 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the steak against the grain and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak slices and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned but slightly underdone, as it will continue cooking in the quesadilla.
Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and onions; sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly softened and caramelized.
Place the whole wheat tortilla on a clean, dry surface. Evenly spread the sautéed vegetables over half of the tortilla and top with the cooked steak slices.
Sprinkle the low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the steak and vegetables. Fold the tortilla in half to encase the filling.
Lightly reheat the filled tortilla in the skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese melts.
Remove from the skillet, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
