We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Season the beef slices with sea salt, black pepper and 1 tablespoon of the Fajita. Let it marinate for about 20 to 30 minutes. When ready to cook, mix in the olive oil to loosen the meat. Divide the meat into 3 to 4 portions.

  • Step 2: Heat a large cast-iron or non-stick pan over medium heat until hot. Add 1-½ tablespoons of olive oil, follow by a portion of the peppers, onions, and sauté until the onions are softened, about 5 to 6 minutes, and push it on one side of the pan.

  • Step 3: Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, a portion of the beef, and when the beef starts to sizzle, season with Fajita/steak seasoning, turn over and cook the other side. Then sauté the meat and vegetables together until well combine and the meat still pink inside.

  • Step 4: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the pan and spread a layer cheese on one side of the tortilla. Then scatter some meat and vegetables, pickled jalapeno, season with some sea salt and pepper, and top with another layer of cheese.

  • Step 5: Fold the tortilla in half and then carefully flip over. Continue cooking, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until its other side is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese has melted. 


  • Step 6: Slide the tortilla onto a plate repeat with the remaining tortilla, cheese, meat and vegetables, and pickled jalapeno. To serve, cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges, serve with some Salsa Fresca and Guacamole.

  • Step 7: Makes 5 to 6 Steak Quesadillas
