Servings: 4
Calories: 533
Ingredients
- 4 low carb tortillas (soft taco size) or your favorite tortilla
- 2 Cups shredded quesadilla cheese or Monterey Jack cheese
- 12 Ounces Thinly sliced cooked steak your favorite cut of steak
- 8 tablespoons Taco Bell quesadilla sauce (click here for the recipe)
Instructions
- Place a large non stick skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Add a low carb tortilla to the skillet and sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese in a single layer over half, followed by 3 ounces of thinly sliced steak, 2 tablespoons of the homemade Taco Bell sauce, and finally, another ¼ cup of cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half and continue to cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla is lightly browned on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan. If there is any melted cheese remaining in the pan, carefully wipe it out with a paper towel so it doesn't burn. Continue with the remaining ingredients to make 4 steak quesadillas.
- Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the quesadilla into portions. Serve with extra Taco Bell sauce, homemade guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.
Notes
- feel free to add jalapeño peppers, sautéed onions or green bell peppers to the steak quesadillas to kick them up a notch.
- Use whatever steak you like. I prefer sirloin steak cut into thin slices. You can also use flank steak or skirt steak.
- You want to make sure your steak strips are seasoned nicely. I like to use adequate salt, garlic powder, onion powder and ground cumin. You could even use taco seasoning for more great flavor!
- Slice the steak in thin strips against the grain for the most tender steak quesadillas.
