Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 12 oz ribeye or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For Assembly:

  • 4 large whole wheat or low-carb tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Optional: pickled jalapeños, hot sauce, sour cream

Instructions

  • Slice ribeye very thin against grain. Season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in large skillet over high heat. Add steak in single layer and sear 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • In same skillet, add remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté 8 to 10 minutes until softened and caramelized. Add garlic and Worcestershire sauce. Cook 1 minute more.
  • Return steak to skillet with vegetables. Toss together and cook 2 minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat. Adjust seasoning.
  • Lay out tortillas. On one half of each, layer provolone slices, then steak mixture, then shredded mozzarella. Fold in half.
  • Heat clean skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Cook quesadillas 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  • Remove and let rest 2 minutes. Slice each quesadilla into 3 wedges. Serve hot with optional toppings.

Notes

  • Storage: Filling keeps 4 days refrigerated. Assemble quesadillas fresh for best texture.
  • Meal Prep: Make filling ahead. Cook fresh quesadillas in 8 minutes for quick meals.
  • Substitutions: Sirloin or flank steak for leaner option. Chicken works well (38g protein). Low-carb tortillas cut calories.
  • Protein Boost: Serve with Greek yogurt-based dipping sauce for extra protein.
