Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Skillet
• Baking sheet
• Oven
• Spatula
• Knife
• Cutting board

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 small onions, sliced
• 2 green bell peppers, sliced
• 1 cup barbeque sauce (such as Bull’s-Eye® Texas-Style Bold Barbeque Sauce)
• 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef slices until browned, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the onions and green bell peppers to the skillet and continue to cook until they are softened, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the barbeque sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture, allowing it to simmer and reduce slightly for about 10 minutes.
3. Place 4 tortillas on a baking sheet and evenly distribute the beef mixture on each. Sprinkle a generous amount of Cheddar cheese over the beef mixture and cover with another tortilla.
4. Bake the quesadillas in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip them carefully and continue baking until the cheese is fully melted, about 5 more minutes.

Tips for Success

For the best results, ensure the beef is thinly sliced to allow for quick and even cooking. Don’t overfill the quesadillas; this makes them difficult to flip and can cause the filling to spill out. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding sliced jalapeños to the beef mixture.

Additional Tips and Variations

Feel free to experiment by adding mushrooms or using a mix of cheeses like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack for a different flavor profile. For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat tortillas.

Nutritional Highlights (Per Serving)

Each serving provides a hearty dose of protein from the beef and cheese, along with essential vitamins and minerals from the onions and peppers. The tortillas offer a satisfying source of carbohydrates to keep you energized.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use a different cut of beef?

Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or ribeye; just ensure they are sliced thinly.

How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover quesadillas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
