Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla

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

How to Make Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas

  • Brown ground beef over medium heat. Once beef is halfway cooked add in diced pepper, diced onion, and seasonings (salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika).
  • Once the ground beef is fully cooked and the peppers and onions have softened add in cream cheese. Cook over medium heat and mix until well combined.
  • Assemble the quesadilla by layering tortilla, cheese, meat mixture, cheese, tortilla. Place quesadilla in a skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes before flipping and cooking an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Enjoy while the cheese is melty and hot.
