DIRECTIONS:

I mixed all the spices and salt together in a small bowl to make the steak. I covered the steak generously with the seasoning combination.
Step 3:
I heated two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. No longer than 3 minutes per side of sear beef.
Step 4:
I removed from heat when prepping quesadillas and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5:
On the prepared dish, I put 2 tortillas and I sprinkled each one with 1/2 cup of cheese.
I placed the tomatoes, black beans, corn, and avocado on top.
Step 6:
I sliced the steak thinly against the grain. On top of the filled tortillas, I put the slices.
Step 7:
I sprinkled all quesadillas equally with the remainder of the cheese and top with the remaining tortillas.
Step 8:
I baked for 10 minutes in the oven till the cheese is melted and the tortillas are cooked up.
