DIRECTIONS :

- Step 3: I heated two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. No longer than 3 minutes per side of sear beef.
- Step 4: I removed from heat when prepping quesadillas and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Step 5: On the prepared dish, I put 2 tortillas and I sprinkled each one with 1/2 cup of cheese.
I placed the tomatoes, black beans, corn, and avocado on top. - Step 6: I sliced the steak thinly against the grain. On top of the filled tortillas, I put the slices.
- Step 7: I sprinkled all quesadillas equally with the remainder of the cheese and top with the remaining tortillas.
- Step 8: I baked for 10 minutes in the oven till the cheese is melted and the tortillas are cooked up.
- Step 9: I removed them and sliced them before they cooled.
- Step 10: I served with lime wedges, sour cream, and guacamole, and I topped with the fresh cilantro.
