Cheese and beef quesadilla - -5/7/10
What do you do when you have leftovers? There is only 2 choices: reheat it and eat it as is or if you are more creative you turn the leftovers into another dish and this is exactly what I am doing with my pan seared rib-eye steak leftovers. I turned the leftovers steaks into Quesadillas and it is a completely new dish. A quesadilla is a Mexican food made primarily of cheese filling on corn or wheat tortilla and cooked until the cheese is melted. Occasionally a second ingredient is added with the cheese to add variety to the dish. Here the 2nd ingredient is rib-eye steak! Actually, Kevin is always looking forward to have cheese quesadilla with rib-eye steak.
The quesadilla is excellent with store bought spicy tomato salsa but it is also good without any dipping sauce. Kevin enjoys the melted cheese and the rib-eye is tender, flavorful and very satisfying to eat! This dish is actually very easy to make and you can prepare in less than 10 minutes! it can b e served as an appetizer or a main course. This dish works well with chicken leftovers or even shrimps.

I am helping myself with a quesadillas... yum!
Preparation work..
|
Ingredients: 2 large flour tortillas Mexican blend cheese Leftovers beef or chicken |
|
Heat an oiled pan - medium heat and put the 1st tortilla in the pan and let it brown a bit. |
Flip the tortilla and let it turned brown for a bit and set it aside. Add the 2nd tortillas to the pan and repeat browning process. |
|
While the tortilla is browning in the pan, cut the leftovers steaks into thin slices. |
Next, add the shredded Mexican cheese on top of the quesadilla and turn the heat a bit lower because you do not want to burn the quesadilla before the cheese is melting. |
|
Add the beef on top of the cheese... |
Then add the 2nd tortilla on top and let it cook for a few minutes or until the cheese has melted. |
Flip the tortilla and continue to cook it until it nicely browned.
