How to Make Steak Fajita Quesadillas on the Blackstone Griddle

• Step 1 – Prepare Griddle – Preheat the Blackstone Grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 – degrees F). Spread the vegetable oil onto the grill.

• Step 2 – Cook Steak – Place the steak on the grill in an even layer. Season it with the taco seasoning. Sauté the steak for 1-2 minutes per side until it’s browned slightly.

• Step 3 – Add and Cook Vegetables – Then add in the red bell pepper and onions and sauté them with the steak for 5-7 minutes until the steak is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

• Step 4 – Cook and toss with salsa – Then top the steak and vegetables with salsa and toss to thoroughly coat the mixture with the salsa. Sauté for a few minutes to combine the flavors. 

• Step 5 – Push ingredients to the side – Push the steak and vegetables to one side of the grill. Reduce the Blackstone temperature to medium.

• Step 6 – Place tortilla on griddle – Place the tortillas on the grill. Top each tortilla with a small amount of each cheese, then layer the steak and vegetables on top and then add more cheese.

• Step 7 – Fold tortilla – Carefully fold each tortilla in half making a half moon shape around the melted cheese.

• Step 8 – Cook Tortilla – 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).

• Step 9 – Watch them closely as they brown quickly.

• Step 10 – Serve and Enjoy – Remove the quesadillas onto a cutting board. Slice them and they are ready to serve and enjoy.

Recipe Tips

• Shredded Cheeses – We recommend shredded the cheeses from hunk cheese. Pre-shredded cheese doesn’t melt as well as shredded cheeses.
• 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.

What to Serve with Steak Fajita Quesadillas

• Spanish Rice – Pair these Steak Fajita Quesadillas with a delicious side of Spanish Rice.
• Chips and Queso – I love to serve these quesadillas with some chips and quesao.
• Salsa – Making this homemade salsa is a must when you are serving these quesadillas.
