Directions

  1. In large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook carne asada in 1 tablespoon olive oil for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway (or until internal temperature reaches 145°). Remove from heat, add remaining tablespoon olive oil and cook peppers and onions 5 minutes. While peppers and onions cook, slice meat into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Use butter to grease griddle and one side of each tortilla. Add equal parts cheese, meat, peppers and onions to one side of each tortilla. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons HERDEZ TAQUERIA STREET SAUCE® Chipotle Medium on each tortilla. Fold in half and cook in batches on griddle, over medium heat, about 5 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. Cut quesadillas into triangles and drizzle additional HERDEZ TAQUERIA STREET SAUCE® Chipotle Medium and Mexican crema over top; sprinkle with cilantro.
