Ingredients

2 flour tortillas
1 cup cooked steak, sliced
1 cup shredded cheese (like provolone or cheddar)
1/2 cup bell peppers, sautéed
1/2 cup onions, sautéed
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter or oil for cooking

Directions

Here’s how to rock these quesadillas:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.
Place one tortilla in the skillet and layer half of the cheese evenly over the tortilla.
Add the cooked steak, sautéed peppers, and onions.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, then cover with the second tortilla.
Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook on the other side until golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove from heat, slice into wedges, and serve hot.

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas (Overview)

Making these quesadillas is as chill as it gets! Start by heating things up with some butter or oil in your skillet. Lay down a tortilla, pile on the cheese, then stack the goodies – a delicious layer of steak and sautéed veggies. Top it off with more cheese because, let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as too much cheese!

Pro tip: Don’t rush the cooking! Let that first side get nice and crispy before flipping. It makes all the difference in texture.

How to Serve Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas

Once you slice these beauties into wedges, the options are endless! Serve them with:

Fresh salsa or guacamole for a zesty kick.
A side of crunchy coleslaw for color and crunch.
A sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime to brighten up the dish.

The aroma that wafts from these cheesy pockets is enough to make anyone’s mouth water. Seriously, get ready for compliments!

How to Store Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas

These quesadillas stay tasty in the fridge for about 3-4 days in an airtight container. If you want to stash them for those late-night cravings, pop them in the freezer, where they’ll keep for up to 2 months.

For reheating, toss them back in the skillet over medium heat until they’re crunchy again, or microwave them for a quick fix (but we know that won’t be as crispy!).
