  • Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheese over one half of the tortilla.
  • Layer with a portion of the steak and veggie mixture, followed by another 1/2 cup of cheese.
  • Fold the tortilla over to seal the filling inside.
  • Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Let the quesadilla rest for a minute before slicing into wedges.
