All natural Western Mesquite BBQ chips infuse amazing flavor in this recipe for grilled Flank Steak Quesadilla.
Ingredients:
¾ LB skirt steak1 ½ TSP smoked paprikaKosher saltFreshly ground black pepper1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil1 small red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced1 small red onion, thinly sliced2 green onions, chopped¾ cup sweet corn kernels½ TSP ground cuminJuice of 1 lime divided4 large (10-to-12-inch) tortillas2 cups grated pepper Jack cheese
Directions:
- Preheat a lightly oiled griddle to medium-high heat and add Western Mesquite Wood Chips to your smoker box or place dry wood chips in a large foil pouch.
- Pat your steak dry and season it all over with paprika, salt, and black pepper. When the griddle is hot and the chips are smoking, place the steak on the hot griddle and cook for about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. For best results, the food should be covered for at least half of the cooking time to infuse the wood chip flavor.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a full 10 minutes before dicing it into bite sized cubes.
- While the steak is resting, prepare your vegetables. Heat the olive oil on a griddle over medium-high heat. When hot, add the bell pepper, red onion, green onion, corn, cumin, a good pinch of salt, and a few cranks of black pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until softened and lightly browned and then add the steak cubes to the vegetable mixture. Add the lime juice and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove the mixture from the heat.
- Add a tortilla to the griddle and sprinkle the entire surface with ½ cup of the cheese. Add half of the steak and vegetable mixture to the bottom half of the tortilla and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the tortilla is lightly browned. Fold the top half of the tortilla over to close the quesadilla. Cook for 30 more seconds, and then transfer to a cutting board. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas.
- Slice each quesadilla into four triangles and serve with your favorite salsa.
