Ingredients:

• 1 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (assorted colors)
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 low-carb tortillas (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp avocado oil
• 1 tsp chili powder

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

   • In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
   • Season the thinly sliced steak with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
   • Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables:
   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of avocado oil.
   • Sauté the diced bell peppers and red onion until they are slightly softened and have a vibrant color.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:
   • Place a low-carb tortilla on a clean surface.
   • Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on half of the tortilla.
   • Top with the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables.
   • Sprinkle another layer of cheese on top.
4. Cook the Quesadillas:
   • Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling, creating a half-moon shape.
   • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
   • Cook the quesadilla on each side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Note: You can also use a panini press or grill pan to achieve the perfect quesadilla texture.
