If you're feeling bold, use both chopped chipotle chiles and their adobo sauce to make these pepper jack quesadillas extraspicy.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill over medium.
  2. Whisk the garlic, cumin, lime and oranges juices and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the steak, coat well in the mixture and let marinade for 10 minutes.
  3. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the steak, flipping once, until medium rare, 2 to 6 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and reserve.
  4. Lay a tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup pepper-jack cheese. Add 1/4 of the steak and some chopped chipotle in adobo and sauce. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose fillings. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  5. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
  6. Cut into triangles and serve with guacamole, salsa, scallions and sour cream.
