Print Recipe

This Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla combines the classic flavors of a cheesesteak with the cheesy goodness of a quesadilla. It’s a quick and indulgent meal perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz Mushrooms (chopped)
  • 1 Flour tortillas burrito (sized)
  • 3 slices Provolone cheese (cut in half)
  • ½ lb Cheese steak beef (Thinly sliced)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil (divided)
  • ½ Red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 tsp Garlic (Minced)
  • ½ Onion (chopped)
  • 2 tsp Mayonnaise
  • ½ Green bell pepper (diced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 1 minute. Once the oil shimmers, add the thinly sliced cheese steak beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked to your liking. Drain any excess grease and set the meat aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped onions, diced red and green bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Return the cooked beef to the skillet and add the minced garlic. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring to combine everything well. You want the garlic fragrant but not burnt, so keep an eye on it!
  4. While the filling is cooking, take your flour tortillas and spread 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise evenly on one side of each tortilla. This adds a creamy layer that enhances the flavor.
  5. Once the filling is ready, layer it onto one side of each tortilla, then top with the halved provolone cheese slices. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape, sealing in the delicious filling.
  6. Wipe the skillet clean and add another teaspoon of olive oil. Heat over medium heat for about 1 minute. Once hot, carefully place the folded quesadillas into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
  7. Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them sit for a minute before slicing them into wedges. This resting period helps the cheese firm up slightly so it doesn’t ooze out when you cut into them.
  8. Serve the quesadillas hot, with your favorite dipping sauces or sides such as salsa or guacamole.

Nutrition

Keywords: Make sure your skillet is hot enough before adding the beef to achieve a good sear. You can substitute provolone cheese with mozzarella or cheddar if needed.
