Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup Good Ranchers steak cooked and chopped*
2 tbs oil divided
1 bell pepper diced
½ yellow onion diced
4 flour tortillas 8-inchs in diameter
1 cup cheddar cheese grated
1 cup pepper jack cheese grated
¼ cup olives

Instructions

Cook your steak* then dice into cubes. To cook the steak, add some oil to a pan and get it hot, then add the steak and let the first side sear. Once it's formed a nice crust, flip it over and cook until the steak reaches an internal temp of 130. It will cook a little further when we finish the quesadilla, so medium-rare is the perfect start.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, add bell pepper and onion and sauté until soft, approximately 8 minutes. Cover with a lid to help the process. If peppers and onion become too dry add ¼ cup or more water to help continue sautéing without burning them.
Once tender, remove the bell pepper and onions and set aside. Wipe out the skillet, add ½ tbs oil and heat over medium heat. Fold tortillas in half then place two in the pan at a time. Stuff with cheese, steak, peppers, and onion.
Cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes each side. Repeat with remaining two tortillas.
Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole.

*You can use any type of steak for this recipe. Use our Flat Iron Steak, NY Strip Steak, or even our Black Angus Ribeyes to elevate the dish.
