Substitutions and Variations
- Steak – We used skirt steak for this recipe but you can also use flank steak if you prefer. You can even use grilled chicken to make these quesadillas.
- Cheese – You can easily use your favorite type of cheeses in this steak quesadilla recipe. Use what you have. We like to use Monterrey jack cheese, pepper jack cheese, Mexican blend cheese, or cheddar cheese and Mozzarella Cheese.
- Vegetable – Add vegetables such as green bell peppers, jalapenos and spinach to the quesadilla.
- Place in the Oven – If you prefer or don’t have a blackstone, you can make these on the stove top in a skillet over medium high heat. You can also cook in the toaster oven.
- Dipping Sauces – Add your favorite dipping sauces. We like salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
How to Make Steak Quesadillas on Blackstone Griddle
- Step 1 – Prepare the Griddle – Preheat the Blackstone Grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F). Spread the vegetable oil onto the grill.
- Step 2 – Cook the steak with seasoning – Place the steak and diced onions on the grill in an even layer. Season it with the onion powder, salt and pepper. Sauté the steak for 4-8 minutes per side until the steak is browned and cooked through.
- Step 3 – Reduce the heat – Push the steak and onions to one side of the grill. Reduce the Blackstone temperature to medium.
- Step 4 – Top the tortilla with Shredded Cheese – Place the tortillas on the grill. Top each tortilla with a small amount of each cheese, then layer the steak and onions on top and then add more cheese. Carefully fold each tortilla in half making a half moon shape.
- Step 5 – Cook the Quesadilla – Cook until one side of the tortilla is golden brown (1-2 minutes). Flip and then cook until the other side is golden brown as well (1-2 minutes). Watch them closely as they brown quickly.
- Step 6 – Serve and Enjoy – Remove the beef quesadillas onto a cutting board. Slice them and they are ready to serve and enjoy.
Recipe Tips
- Oil for the Griddle – I used vegetable oil in this recipe. But any oil with a high smoke point will work great. Olive oil, Avocado oil, coconut oil or canola oil would work great in this recipe.
- Preheat Griddle – Make sure to preheat the griddle to medium high heat to give the quesadilla a crispy texture.
- Cooking Steak – Make sure to slice the steak about the same size so that it cooks in about the same time. I like to make them bite size pieces.
- Leftovers – These are best served fresh but you can refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Seasoning – You can add in some garlic powder, steak seasoning or chili powder for extra flavoring.
How to Make Quesadillas on a Skillet
Steak Fajita Quesadillas can easily be made in a large skillet over medium heat. Spray the skillet with cooking spray and then place a large flour tortillas and top with shredded cheese and bite-sized pieces of steak.
Top with another tortilla and heat until the bottom crispy tortilla gets golden brown and the cheese is melted.

What to Serve with Steak Quesadillas
- Chips and Queso – Chips and queso is a must to serve with these quesadillas. We love to dip the quesadillas in the queso.
- Guacamole – We love to serve guacamole for dipping or to add to the top of the quesadillas.
- Salsa – Making this homemade salsa is a must when you are serving these quesadillas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Place the prepared quesadilla on the griddle then once the cheese starts to melt and the tortilla is golden brown, then you can flip. We like to use a large spatula to easily flip the quesadilla to cook on the other side.
Yes, you can use already cooked steak. This is the perfect meal to use leftover cooked steak. Even if you don’t use all the steak when making this recipe, use it the next night to make even more Blackstone Steak and Cheese Quesadillas.
Just skip the steps in the recipe to cook the steak and onions and place your tortilla on the flat top griddle. Heat the tortilla and top with cheese and steak to make a quick lunch or dinner.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
