How to Make Steak Fajita Quesadillas
Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Add the sliced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and shaved steak to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 5 to 8 minutes until the steak is cooked through and no longer pink.
Step 3: Sprinkle the steak seasoning and taco seasoning over the mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Step 4: Lightly grease a large griddle or skillet with nonstick spray.
Step 5: Place one tortilla on the surface. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cheese onto the tortilla, add a generous portion of the steak and peppers, sprinkle a little more cheese on top, and place a second tortilla over it.

Step 6: Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Made these for dinner tonight and my hubby loved them! Quick, easy, tasty and going into rotation at our house. I cheated and used some frozen sliced peppers and onions (we always have it on hand) and it worked great.
