Loaded steak quesadillas

Ingredients:

For the Steak:

• 3/4 – 1 lb sirloin steak
• 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon ground Mexican oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Quesadillas:

• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup canned fire-roasted corn kernels, drained
• 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
• 1/2 an avocado, diced
• Lime wedges and fresh minced cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together all the spices and salt for the steak.
3. Generously coat the steak with the spice blend.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for no more than 3 minutes per side. The steak will cook more in the oven, so ensure it’s just seared. Remove it from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes while prepping the quesadillas.
5. Place 2 tortillas on the prepared sheet and sprinkle each one with 1/2 cup of the cheese.
6. Top with tomatoes, corn, black beans, and avocado.
7. Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Place the steak slices on top of the loaded tortillas.
8. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese evenly over both quesadillas and cover with the remaining tortillas.
9. Bake in the oven for 6-8 minutes, until the cheese is melted, and the tortillas are warmed through.
10. Remove from the oven and slice as desired. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges, a dollop of sour cream, and your favorite salsa and guacamole!
