These quesadillas are SO delicious!  They're easy to make and really good. And if you're following a carb controlled diet like paleo / primal / Dr Poon etc., you can just eat the filling without tortillas. Yum!

INGREDIENTS:

12 ounces (about 350 grams) of lean steak, cut in strips
    (I happened to have a 17.5 oz or 500g package so I used that)
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar or jalapeño jack cheese
1 small onion, chopped small or sliced thinly
1 green pepper, sliced in thin strips
4-5 ounces (130-140g) mushrooms, sliced
1 Tbsp olive oil
4-6 tortillas
about 1/4 to 1/2 cup chipotle aioli sauce

Heat the oil in a large skillet and sauté the steak strips for about 5-7 minutes, turning frequently, until browned and cooked (they can be pink in the middle). Set the meat aside on a plate and cover with another plate to keep warm. Then use the same skillet to sauté the onion, green peppers and mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes or until softened, but not mushy. Cover the lower half of two tortillas at a time with cheese, the cooked steak and veggie mixture, a drizzle of chipotle aioli sauce, and more cheese. Then fold the other half of the tortillas over the filling.

Heat your sandwich press or grill and when ready, place two tortillas (or whatever fits on yours) on at a time. Close the lid and press about 2 minutes or until cheese is melty and the tortillas are lightly browned.  Then remove to a plate and do the next two. Depending on how much you fill them, you should get at least four but probably six quesadillas out of this. Serve topped with a dollop of sour cream.

If you don't have a sandwich press or grill, you can put them back in the skillet and heat for a couple minutes on each side, or you can put them on a cookie sheet in a moderate oven for about 15 minutes. Visit and Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Annas-Kitchen-1686376324950749/
