Ingredients

2 tortillas (I use the La Banderita brand carb counter tortillas.)
4 oz sirloin steak (I use Trifecta pre-cooked grass fed sirloin)
1/4 cup avocado chimichurri sauce (Recipe for this is on my website linked above!)
red onion (slices to taste)
3/4 cup Monterey jack cheese (shredded)
lime & orange juice (optional, but I love soaking my steak in a little bit of lime juice before hand!)

Instructions

1
Heat a pan over medium heat with oil, butter, or whichever you prefer (I like avocado oil mixed with Irish butter).
2
Place one tortilla on the pan and sprinkle half of the cheese on the tortilla, followed by the steak, avocado chimichurri, onion, remaining cheese and other tortilla.
3
Cook until the quesadilla is golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted, about 2-4 minutes per side. Enjoy!
