Slice the flank steak into very thin strips against the grain to ensure tenderness.
In a small bowl, toss the steak strips with the cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado with the lime juice, finely minced red onion, and chopped cilantro until creamy.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3 to 4 minutes until well-browned.
Remove the steak from the pan and wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
Place the tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle the cheddar cheese on one half, and top with the cooked steak.
Fold the tortilla in half and cook for 2 minutes per side until the exterior is crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
Slice the quesadilla into three wedges and serve immediately with the fresh guacamole on the side.
