Copycat Taco Bell Steak Quesadilla

Step 1

To make the chipotle sauce, combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine all the seasonings for the steak in a small bowl. Mix well.

Step 3

Coat the steak with vegetable oil and season it thoroughly with the spice mixture, ensuring even coverage.

Step 4

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak to your desired doneness. Remove it from the heat and let it rest briefly before cutting it into small, bite-sized strips. Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, toss together the Colby-Jack and mozzarella cheese.

Step 6

Place the cleaned skillet over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet. On one half of the tortilla, layer 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and a quarter of the seasoned steak pieces. Drizzle with chipotle sauce. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the fillings to create a half-moon shape. Cook until the cheese melts and the tortilla becomes golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
