Ingredients
  

For The Steak

  • 1 to 1.5 lbs flank, skirt, or ribeye steak thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1/2 lime optional for marinating

For The Quesadillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese Mexican blend, cheddar, or pepper jack
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1 small bell pepper chopped
  • Butter For crisping tortillas

For The Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lime juice fresh is best
  • Zest of 1/2 lime optional, but recommended for flavor
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced or grated
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

To Make the Quesadillas

  • Season the steak with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and lime juice if using. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes to soak up the flavor while you prep your other ingredients.
  • Preheat your Blackstone griddle on medium-high. Drizzle a little oil over the surface to prevent sticking, or a few tablespoons of butter (we prefer butter.)
  • Add the onions and bell peppers to one side of the griddle. Cook until softened and lightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Move them to a cooler part of the griddle to keep warm.
  • On the hot zone, cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side or until it’s browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat.
  • Lightly oil or butter the griddle. Place a tortilla on the griddle, sprinkle with cheese, add steak and veggies, then top with another layer of cheese and fold the tortilla over. Press gently with a spatula to help it crisp.
  • Cook each quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Cut into wedges and serve hot.

To Make The Sauce

  • Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Taste and adjust lime, salt or spice.
  • Chill for 10-15 minutes before serving if you have time- this helps the flavor meld.
