  • Yield: 2 large quesadillas (4 servings)
  • Category: Main Course, Snack
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Low Lactose

Ingredients

  • 8 oz thinly sliced beef (ribeye, sirloin, or deli roast beef)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 medium or 2 large flour tortillas
  • 4–6 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded cheese)
  • Optional: mushrooms, hot sauce, or pickled jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and peppers for 8–10 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook just until heated through. Remove from heat.
  4. In a clean or wiped skillet, place a tortilla over medium heat. Layer cheese on one half, then top with beef and veggie mixture, and add more cheese. Fold over.
  5. Cook the quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing with a spatula, until golden and cheese is melted.
  6. Let rest for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Deli roast beef is a great shortcut—just heat it with the veggies.
  • Provolone, mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or white American cheese all melt well.
  • Add mushrooms or use pepper jack for a spicier twist.
  • Dip in garlic mayo, ranch, or spicy aioli for extra flavor.
  • Reheat in a skillet for best texture; microwave will soften the tortilla.
