Keto Steak Quesadillas

Keto Steak Quesadillas is a low-carb dish of Mexican cuisine. These steak quesadillas are good for those who are on the keto diet. These quesadillas use almond flour or another keto-friendly tortilla in place of regular flour tortillas, which lowers the carbohydrate content without sacrificing flavor. The dish’s main attraction is a delicate, seasoned steak that is frequently pan-seared or grilled to perfection, giving it a rich, juicy texture. To make a gooey, flavorful filling, melted cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, is combined with the steak. You can add sautéed peppers, onions, or even avocado for more taste. After that, these quesadillas are cooked in a skillet until the inside is still warm and cheesy but the outside is crispy and golden brown. Keto Steak Quesadillas are perfect for a quick and filling dinner that has all the flavor of classic quesadillas without the added carbohydrates.

STEAK:

• Flank steak is a good choice to make these quesadillas because flank steak cooks quickly and is tasty and soft. You can use various cuts like rib eye or sirloin according to your tastes. The nicest texture comes from cutting the steak thinly against the grain.

CHEESE:

• We can use the mozzarella cheese but we can also use the Monterey Jack, cheddar, or a spicy pepper jack which are some alternatives to mozzarella. We just make sure the cheese melts properly.

SEASONING:

• The steak is enhanced by the rich, savory flavor profile produced by the addition of garlic seasoning, onion seasoning, cumin, and chili powder. We can easily alter the spices according to our taste.

BUTTER:

• We can cook these quesadillas with butter to give them a golden, crispy outside in addition to adding taste. If you’d like, you can also use olive oil or ghee as an alternative.
