Burritos de Carne Asada
These baked quesadillas are so good. They’re filled with wonderful south of the border ingredients and make 2 generous portions or 4 smaller ones.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces sirloin steak or ground beef ( I used it)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
FOR THE QUESADILLAS:
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup thinly sliced tomatoes
- ½ cup drained canned black beans
- ½ cup drained canned fire-roasted corn kernels
- ½ chopped avocado
- Chopped cilantro and lime wedges to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 420°F.
- Mix the salt and spices for the steak and coat the meat with it.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet and sear the meat for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
- Put 2 tortillas on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and top each with ½ cup of cheese.
- Top with the corn, beans, avocado, and tomatoes.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin pieces and add those on top.
- Add the remaining cheese and then the other 2 tortillas.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
