A quesadilla is a grilled tortilla with cheese and whatever else you want to add in it. This version has skirt steak and a spice blend I mix myself from smoked paprika, cumin, coriander and oregano. Half of it goes on the capsicum and onion and half goes on the beef, so you can taste the spice is seasoning in every bite. This is a great recipe to make for two people (or more) during the week when you need a quick and easy dinner.
Swaps that keep this dish what it is. The prices on this page are for the recipe as written.
Pescatarian
Prawn Quesadilla
Sear the prawns with the spice mix for 1 to 2 minutes until just pink, then toss with the vegetables; they cook faster than the steak, so do not leave them on the grill.
Vegetarian
Mushroom Quesadilla
Slice the mushrooms 1 cm thick and sear them in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes until browned and their liquid has cooked off before adding the spice and vegetables.
Gluten-free
Warm the corn tortillas briefly on both sides first so they fold without cracking, and use two per quesadilla if they are small.
Swaps are suggestions — check labels if you are cooking for an allergy.
