Instructions

Marinate the steak

In a bowl, mix the steak, BBQ sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and cumin. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: For more flavor, let the steak marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Pro tip: Make sure the grill is clean to prevent the quesadillas from sticking.

Cook the steak

Grill the marinated steak for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the grill and let it rest.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak.

Assemble the quesadillas

On one tortilla, spread a layer of cheese, add the cooked steak, onions, and peppers, then top with another tortilla.

Pro tip: Don’t overload the tortilla to avoid tearing when folding.

Cook the quesadillas

Brush the outside of the quesadillas with olive oil. Place them on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.

Pro tip: Use a spatula to gently flip the quesadillas.

Serve

Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa or sour cream.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.
