Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 5 tablespoons adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1/2 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon Simply Organic Coriander Seed
- 1 teaspoon Simply Organic Cumin Seed
- 1 pound tomatoes, seeded and diced (about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 pounds grated monterey jack cheese
- 4 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 8 large flour tortillas
Method
Step 1
In a shallow baking dish toss steak with adobo sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, coriander, cumin and water. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to overnight.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl toss diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro and lime juice to combine. Season with salt and set aside.
Step 3
Remove the steak from the refrigerator, wiping off any excess marinade and discarding it. In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add steak and cook, flipping once, until golden brown and cooked to medium, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then cut against the grain into ½ inch cubes. Transfer to a bowl and mix with chipotle peppers.
Step 4
Place one tortilla down on a plate or cutting board and layer with ½ cup grated cheese, ½ cup steak, ⅓ cup pico de gallo and another ½ cup cheese. Top with another tortilla. Repeat until you have 4 assembled quesadillas.
Step 5
In a large skillet (big enough to fit the tortilla), heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Using a wide spatula carefully place the quesadilla in. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown and crisp, 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining oil and assembled quesadillas.
Step 6
Cut each quesadilla into 4 triangles and serve with any remaining pico de gallo.
