LOADED STEAK QUESADILLAS - Skinny Daily Recipes

Ingredients

• 1 lb. sirloin steak
• Sirloin steak is tender and flavorful, making it perfect for quesadillas. You can also use flank steak or skirt steak as a substitute.
• ½ cup fire-roasted corn, drained
• Fire-roasted corn adds a smoky, charred sweetness that complements the beef. You can use canned, frozen, or fresh grilled corn.
• ½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• Black beans provide protein and a creamy texture to balance the steak and corn.
• ½ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
• Cherry tomatoes add a burst of freshness and slight acidity to cut through the richness of the cheese and beef.
• ½ avocado, diced (for topping)
• Creamy avocado makes the perfect cool, fresh topping for these quesadillas.
• 2 cups taco blend shredded cheese
• A mix of cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a taco blend ensures that every bite of these quesadillas is gooey and delicious.
• 4 large flour tortillas
• Flour tortillas are soft yet sturdy enough to hold all the fillings and get perfectly crispy when cooked.
• Cooking oil (for the skillet)
• Use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil to lightly fry the quesadillas until golden brown and crispy.
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• Chili powder adds warmth and a hint of spice to the steak.
• ¼ tsp. onion powder
• Onion powder brings savory depth to the seasoning mix.
• ¼ tsp. cumin
• Cumin offers a warm, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the steak and beans.
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder
• Garlic powder enhances the overall savory notes of the quesadilla filling.
• ¼ tsp. paprika
• Paprika adds color and a mild smokiness to the seasoning blend.
• ¼ tsp. oregano
• Oregano brings a fresh, herbal touch to the seasoning, balancing the spices.
• ¼ tsp. salt
• Salt brings out all the flavors of the steak and seasoning.
