Grilled Steak Quesadillas
I love steak quesadillas but up until recently, I had never tried putting them on the grill. Now that I have, I may never go back o the “old” way. There is just something about that smokey grilled flavor that just puts a regular ole’ quesadilla over the top. It’s the kind of recipe you can toss together without a lot of prep time. Yet it tastes like you really went all out.
Which Steak to Use?
The recipe is pretty flexible when it comes to which type of steak to use. The thing that sets this recipe apart is the fact that you are grilling the steak quesadillas. So go ahead; get creative with the cut of meat you select. Each one offers its own unique flavor and texture. I will often use leftover steak when I use this recipe – whatever I have on hand.
