- 1.5 lb thin cut chuck steak
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- salt, pepper to taste
- tortillas
- 3-4 c shredded cheese mozarella or pepper jack is our preference
Remove steak from refrigerator at least 40 minutes prior to making the quesadillas and salt generously.
Cut steak into bite-sized pieces; dice onion.
Heat olive oil in sautee pan over medium high heat.
Add steak and onion to sautee pan, until cooked through.
When the steak starts to brown, add cumin, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.
When the steak has finished cooking, heat a clean pan over medium heat.
Place tortilla on heated pan, top with cheese to almost the edges, and top with some of the steak mixture (just about 1/4 cup mixture per quesadilla. you can do more or less depending on how many you want to make!).
Top with another tortilla; flip when bottom tortilla has browned to your liking. When other tortilla has browned, remove from pan and slice. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
