One of the most popular dinners in Mexican homes? Quesadillas! I never get tired of them, but I do make lots of variations. Today's version is a relaxed Friday night dinner, perfect with a cold beer. (How much more northern Mexican can you get?!)

Steps

15 minutes

1

Heat a griddle or skillet.
2

Add the steak and cook to your desired doneness. I cooked it medium. (I didn't add salt because the cheese and tortillas add enough flavor.)
3

Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the griddle and set aside.
4

Warm the tortillas on the same griddle. I flipped them just once because my griddle was very hot.
5

Once the tortillas are warm, add the cheese and steak, dividing them evenly among the tortillas.
6

Fold the tortillas in half and cook until the cheese melts and the tortillas are toasted. Serve with salsa roja or your favorite salsa.
