Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz flank steak, cut into thin strips
- 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tsp Creole seasoning
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the flank steak with salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning.
- Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak strips and cook for about 3-4 minutes until browned and cooked through, then set aside.
- In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and the shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
- Lay a tortilla flat in the skillet over low heat. Sprinkle a layer of cheese, add half of the cooked steak and shrimp, then top with more cheese and another tortilla.
- Cook until the bottom tortilla is crispy and golden, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, let it rest for a minute, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
