You can turn just about anything into a quesadilla. Today, I am taking those tasty Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and turning them into Philly cheesesteak quesadillas!
This quesadilla includes nice chunks of steak, peppers, onions, mushrooms along with some melty provolone cheese. Also, you could always swap the provolone for mozzarella if you want. This quesadilla is what you expect in a regular Philly cheesesteak sandwich. However, there is no toasty roll here. You serve this in between 2 crispy golden brown flour tortillas.
Additionally, this recipe works well to use leftover steak with. Just cut your beef into slices and skip step one. I’m telling ya, you will love these cheesesteak quesadillas.
Then, one thing that I like to do is enjoy these quesadillas with some guacamole on the side. This is definitely different from a tradition Philly cheesesteak. However, it is equally delicious.
