BEEF QUESADILLAS

You can also grill these quesadillas on the barbecue. Grill the steaks first over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Then grill the quesadilla’s over low heat for 2 minutes per side or until toasted and cheese is melted.

4 Beef Fast-fry Steaks, about 12 oz (375 g)
½ tsp (2 mL) EACH salt and pepper
2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1-½ cups (375 mL) shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 cups (250 mL) frozen corn, thawed
¼ cup (50 mL) salsa
1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
½ tsp (2 mL) hot sauce
4 large flour tortillas
  1. Rub steaks all over with salt and pepper. Pan-fry over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Drizzle with lime juice and set aside.
  2. Combine cheese, corn, salsa, jalapeño and hot sauce; Spread ½ cup (125 mL) of mixture evenly over one half of each of the 4 tortillas. Cut steaks into strips, sprinkle over cheese mixture. Fold over tortilla half to form a half-moon. Assemble 3 more quesadillas in the same manner. Place on baking tray.
