Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal cooked on a griddle or pan, this recipe delivers smoky, spicy goodness with every bite.

Ingredients

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1–1.5 lb steak
  • 5–6 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (divided, use more or less to taste)

Quesadilla Base

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 4–8 tablespoons butter (softened; use unsalted if Cajun seasoning is salty)
  • 4 cups Mexican shredded cheese blend (or your favorite cheese)

Vegetables

  • ½ cup fresh mushrooms (diced)
  • ½ cup diced onion (about 1 small onion)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steak: Season the steak generously on both sides with Cajun seasoning. If the seasoning lacks salt, add salt to taste. Place the steak in an air fryer and cook for 6-8 minutes for medium, or 8-10 minutes for well done, depending on thickness.
  2. Rest and Slice the Steak: Let the cooked steak rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices. Then slice it into small bite-sized pieces. Use this resting time to prep your other ingredients.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of softened butter evenly on one side of each tortilla. Sprinkle each buttered side generously with Cajun seasoning to add flavor and a slight kick.
  4. Heat the Griddle or Pan: Preheat your Blackstone griddle or a pan to medium heat. Place the tortillas on the griddle with the seasoned butter side down.
  5. Add Cheese and Fillings: Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over each tortilla. Then, distribute about ¼ to ⅓ cup of the cubed steak over half of each tortilla, along with approximately 2 tablespoons each of diced mushrooms and onions.
  6. Fold and Cook the Quesadilla: When the cheese begins to soften and melt, fold the tortilla in half over the steak-filled side. Press gently with a spatula and cook for about 1 minute until cheese melts fully. For a crisper top, carefully flip the folded quesadilla over and cook another minute.
  7. Serve: Remove the quesadillas from the griddle or pan, slice each into 2-3 triangles, and serve immediately with your favorite dips and sides.

Notes

  • Adjust Cajun seasoning amount based on your spice preference and sodium content.
  • Use unsalted butter if your Cajun seasoning is already salty to control sodium.
  • Resting steak is essential for tender, juicy pieces in the quesadilla.
  • Preheat griddle or pan well to ensure even cooking and crisp tortillas.
  • Feel free to swap Mexican cheese blend for cheddar or Monterey Jack based on preference.
