Made with beef fast-fry steaks, these quesadillas are super fast and easy. You can't go wrong with this quesadilla recipe — kids of all ages love them. In summer, you can prepare the quesadilla on the grill (see Grill Option).

 4 Beef Fast-fry Steaks, about 12 oz (375 g)
 ½ tsp (2 mL) EACH salt and pepper
 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
 1 ½ cup (375 mL) shredded Monterey jack cheese
 1 cup (250 mL) frozen corn, thawed
 ¼ cup (50 mL) salsa
 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
 ½ tsp (2 mL) hot sauce
 4 large flour tortillas
1

Rub steaks all over with salt and pepper. Pan-fry over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Drizzle with lime juice and set aside.

2

Combine cheese, corn, salsa, jalapeño and hot sauce; Spread ½ cup (125 mL) of mixture evenly over one half of each of the 4 tortillas. Cut steaks into strips, sprinkle over cheese mixture. Fold over tortilla half to form a half-moon. Assemble 3 more quesadillas in the same manner. Place on baking tray.

3

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven about 10 minutes or until cheese melts, turning halfway through cooking.
