๐ฅ Instructions
1. Season & Cook the Steak
In a medium bowl, toss the diced steak with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and lime juice. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook for 3โ5 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Sautรฉ the Onions
In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Sautรฉ on medium heat for 5โ7 minutes or until golden and caramelized. Set aside.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas
On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese, followed by steak pieces, sautรฉed onions, and another sprinkle of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to seal.
4. Cook Until Crispy
Place the folded quesadilla on a clean, lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook 2โ3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the outside is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted.

Let quesadillas rest for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauce! ๐ฅ๐
