    This delicious, savory marriage between the Steak Fajita and the Quesadilla is the perfect weeknight dinner for the whole family. We fondly call this meal a Fajitadilla. Steak Fajita Quesadillas are a filling, healthy meal, filled with cheese, veggies and steak. You can make these as spicy or mild as you’d like in this one-pan recipe. Be sure to go crazy with toppings!

    If you’ve stopped by recently looking for new recipes, then you’ve probably been massively disappointed. But not to worry because I’m back in business! We have just returned to Minnesota after a long and incredible journey around the western U.S. I hope you’ve been following our journey! The boys start school soon and I’ll have time again to deliver tons of new and delicious content. Now onto showing you why you need to try this Steak Fajita Quesadilla for dinner at your house! The Mexican flavors will be enjoyed by all!

    These quesadillas were another on-the-road meal that were so easy to make in a single pan. Dan and I are huge fans of Mexican food (like our FAVE Chicken Enchiladas!), but I’m pretty sure anyone would devour these babies right up. Do you like my spin on the name, by the way? It rolled off Dan’s tongue as we were preparing them and I went with it. 🙂

    HOW TO MAKE STEAK FAJITA QUESADILLAS (FAJITADILLAS)

    STEP 1

    Cook steaks in a skillet over medium heat (or on a grill) for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until desired doness is reached. Remove steak from the skillet and cut into strips. Cover to keep warm. (Do not clean skillet.)

    STEP 2

    Add green onions and peppers to skillet and cook until soft and fragrant, between 4 and 6 minutes. Put veggies in a bowl and cover to keep warm.

    STEP 3

    One at a time, add a tortilla to the skillet. On half of the tortilla, layer with 1/2 cup cheese, 1/2 of the steak slices, 1/2 of the pepper mixture and another 1/2 cup cheese. Fold the tortilla in half and cook until the bottom layer of cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

    STEP 4

    Set your quesadilla onto the platter. As it cools, cut it into wedges. Each quesadilla can be prepared to individual preferences. Toppings make this meal so delicious!

      I loved the chili recipe, but this recipe is missing specifics. Steak? I like your food photography, though. Everything looks amazing.
