Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas are filled with beef, onions, peppers and melted cheese and comes together in under 30 minutes.
The other day I was trying hard to figure out what to make for dinner. I knew I had ground beef thawed, but could not come up with something I wanted to make. In addition, I recently got myself a Blackstone Griddle and have been finding any excuse to use it! So when I saw that I also had peppers and onions I knew Cheesesteak Quesadillas were on the menu!
Ingredients for Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas
- Tortillas – I made my homemade tortillas, but your favorite store bought ones will be great!
- Beef – I had ground beef on hand, but you can also use your favorite thinly sliced steak or even chicken!
- Bell Pepper – I used green, but add some color if you want
- Onion – I usually use yellow onions
- Cream Cheese – this helps to add extra creaminess to the filling
- Seasoning – salt, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika
- Cheese – I used provolone, but swap for whatever you have on hand! I usually go between provolone or mozzarella
