Ingredients

Steak:

2-3 Skirt Steaks or Hanger Steaks
1 cup Steak Rub
Canola Oil as needed

Fajita Veggies:

4-5 medium Bell Peppers slices
2 Red Onions sliced
2 Jalapenos sliced
Canola Oil as needed

Quesadilla:

4-5 cups Monterey Jack Cheese shredded
3-4 Large Tortillas

Chipotle Lime Sour Cream:

1 cup FAGE Sour Cream
2 medium Limes juiced
2 tbsp Chipotle Puree
Kosher Salt to taste

Instructions

In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients plus FAGE Sour Cream for the sour cream sauce. Keep chilled.
Slather your steak with oil and generously season with salt, pepper and garlic powder or your favorite steak rub. Set in the fridge until ready to cook.
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (about 375F).
Add the steaks to the grill to cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until 120F internal. Once done to your liking, then pull off and rest for a couple minutes. Then, slice into bite side bites.
Add a skillet to the grill with a little oil. Once it is smoking hot, add the sliced veggies and saute until they are softened (about 4-5 minutes). Pull off and clean off your skillet.
Add a tortilla to the skillet and cook one side then flip and top with a handful of shredded cheese. Add the steak and veggies to the tortilla, then fold it over to crisp up. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy.
Serve with the FAGE Chipotle Lime Sour Cream sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

Never underestimate the power of lime juice!

When seasoning your steak for the fajita quesadillas, consider adding a splash of lime juice to the mix. The acidity in the lime juice acts as a natural tenderizer, breaking down the fibers in the meat and making it extra juicy and flavorful. Let it mingle with the spices in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes. This quick marinade infuses the meat with tangy flavor while tenderizing it, creating the perfect texture for your steak fajita quesadilla!
