Instructions

  • Heat up your diced leftover steak and veggies in a microwave-safe dish or in a pan on the stove.

  • Add cheese, beans, rice, fajita meat, and veggies to a tortilla. Top with additional cheese and another tortilla.

  • Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. Enjoy!

Notes

Did you know you can freeze quesadillas? Make them as normal, then allow to cool. Cut if you'd like, then wrap really well in foil and store in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat in the foil in the oven at 350° for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
