Quick and Simple Beef Quesadillas
  • Stumbleupon

Sometimes you don’t feel like cooking up a storm, but you still want something delicious for dinner. Enter: the quesadilla. Simple, quick, delicious, and filling.

All you need are flour tortillas (which last almost forever in the fridge, so you should pretty much always have them), your favorite kind of cheese – shredded (which can be easily frozen, so you should have that too), and some other fillings.

We had some sort of yummy steak in the fridge, so I seasoned it with Lawry’s seasoned salt (very Latin of me, I know) and cooked it in a pan, leaving it rare. Then, while it was chilling out on the cutting board, I sauteed some onions in the pan I used for the beef, also adding a bit of Worcestershire sauce.

After that, all I did was slice up the beef really thinly, then assemble the quesadillas!  Warm a tortilla in a medium-heated pan, on both sides. Then sprinkle cheese and your fillings. After the cheese gets pretty melty (about 30 seconds after I took the above picture), fold the tortilla over, and make sure both sides are warm and everything inside is gooey.

Serve with sour cream and salsa, if that’s your thing. Guacamole if you go that way, or pico de gallo if you’re into it. However you eat it, a quesadilla is always a simple answer to, “What’s for dinner?”

    Second, you know how I said I wanted lessons in grownup life and housekeeping (maybe not in exactly those words but that was the sentiment)? I just wanted you to know that you are providing a tremendous ammount of help in that area '-)
