The Perfect Quesadilla | Steak or Chicken
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- One of my family's staple favorites are these easy quesadillas. You can mix up the vegetables, change the cheeses, and use any assortment of meat (or not) and they turn out perfectly crispy and tasty every time! Take a few minutes and impress yourself and your family!
Steak (or chicken) Quesadillas:
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 lbs steak or chicken
1 Tbsp ghee or high temp oil
1 onion diced
2 bell peppers julienned
optional jalapeno minced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 lime
salt
pepper
1 bunch fresh cilantro
taco seasoning to taste*
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Prepare steak or chicken by patting dry, adding salt and pepper. Set steak aside or refrigerate chicken.
Dice onion, julienne bell pepper, mince jalapeno and garlic.
Heat skillet with 1 Tbsp ghee or oil.
Sear salted steak on both sides, 2/3 minutes on high, or cook chicken to 165 on medium. Set aside
Melt butter in hot pan, add garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Add salt and pepper.
Slice steak or chicken in to small strips against the grain. and mix back into vegetables.
Add taco seasoning and enough water to mix it well. (You may not need it all.)
Remove from heat.
I sometimes will squeeze part of lime juice in and sprinkle with cilantro here.
Butter or oil the bottom of a skillet, on medium low heat.
Place tortilla, cheese, fajita mix, more cheese on tortilla, optional jalapeno, and fold closed.
heat on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Sprinkle with cilantro, plate and serve!

I always say “ Cheese it like you mean it! “ Your recipes are inspiring me to enjoy cooking again Zach! We love your family! Thank you!
I love both of your cooking videos! I'm a 63 year old granny and you have taught me something in each video! Keep 'em commin'
So glad you are enjoying!
I enjoyed the video! I actually especially like how it’s not tv “perfect”. A few things fall over or something doesn’t go just right bc that’s not life anyways. I kind of also chuckled at briefly hearing kids or his wife Whitney in the background lol.
Love the Bates family!
Thanks for being so sweet! Really can’t say enough for how hard Whitney worked in the background and how well the kids did to let me film this one! I’m blessed with such a supporting family!
Great video! Music is a lot better with this video. That looks so good!
its still really distracting..
Give it time. They film these months in advance. And they’ll work out the kinks as they go. No one has perfect videos right out the gate
Already pre-recorded@@kathrynaraguz4816
Thanks so much! It really helps when people take the time to leave feedback, and I really appreciate it!
Those look delicious! I will be making them! ❤
Love your cooking videos. You should ask Michaela to see if she can make you a ( Bates Kitchen) emblem to put on you apron instead of Williams Sonoma.
Hopefully Zach will do so well that he'll have his OWN brand of aprons, grills, utensils, cookware, etc. someday. Watch out Williams Sonoma 😊!!
This is not a bad idea!
@@ThebateskitchenI agree! And sell them through the boutique.
Great video!
You seemed so much more relaxed this week. Your humor was on point. 😄
Thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback a lot!
Looks great. Thanks for turning the music down. Can’t wait to try these.
Thank you! And thanks to the people who took the time to leave honest feedback on our first video!
Cheddar makes everything better!
This! Why couldn’t I have thought of that when I needed it!
This is great!
That was an awesome recipe and great preparation. Call me impressed!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for adjusting the music volume, Zach! Greatly appreciated! You are so professional; appears you’ve had a cooking show for years, not a few weeks. Keep it up!!!👍🏼
That’s a huge compliment! Thanks for watching!
I have never seen a pepper cut like that!! Fascinating!
The explanation of the kind of steak you used was appreciated.
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Looks delicious! Evan and Carlin always talk about how good of a cook you are. I believe it! Thanks for sharing!
That really looks good! Now, I'm hungry. Really enjoyed your video!
Honestly, I’m kind of hungry looking at it myself!
Love the basic simplicity of your cooking . It doesn’t have to be gourmet to taste good .Fresh ingredients is what you need
I used to heavily use seasonings and spices, but over time I’ve come to believe that often when cooking, less can be more! Quality and fresh ingredients when possible make such a difference!
This is fun to watch!! Rachael Ray always used a giant ‘garbage bowl’ as she cooked for exactly as you discussed. Makes a lot of sense. Looks absolutely delicious!!!!
Hilarious!! Hey siri is it red or purple onion lol. Love that you started cooking to help your wife! The tip about adding the herbs after the sear was next level!!!! I loath burning my seasoning during a sear. I never thought to wait!
Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed!
That looks delicious! Thanks Zach.
I love Quesadillas! Thanks for sharing your recipe!!! I'll have to try it very soon!!!!😊
This is great I get new ideas for suppers. I get in a rut serving the same meals. These Quesadillas look amazing! Whitney and the kids are so very lucky to have their own personal chef in the house. Everyone needs a Zach in their life.
I love trying new recipes, some like these stick around as new staples and others don’t, but I love trying them!
Tip for peeling garlic- smash it with the flat side of a large knife. The skin will kind of fall off making it very quick and fast.
I normally just smash it with my hand, you just got to make sure to turn them the right way! It does help the peeling process! I don’t know if they showed that on this one or not though
I absolutely love the Bates family. So happy you finally decided to do a cooking show. My family loves a good Taco Tuesday night. Great video....
Easy breezy lemon squeezy, with a whole lot of different cheezies!!! Looks delicious!!!
I love this! Why couldn’t I have had you here when I was filming 😂
That looks amazing
Another great recipe to add to my collection to try. You are doing an amazing job Zach. God Bless you and your family.
Yay! I hope you love it!
Rachael Ray taught me how to cook and she always said keep a bowl handy for veggie scraps. I did so and placed them in a bag and stored in freezer for homemade chicken stock/broth. Any of the kids like cooking? They all love to bake it seems.
Kaci loves cooking with me! Brad enjoys a few things and Khloe likes to break the eggs for anyone!
I just bought a chopper and it does all the chopping for me. One of my favorite kitchen gadgets.
Love watching your ideas
Thanks so much!
This is a great recipe I can’t wait to try mostly because I love cheese. I also realize I need to start using my iron skillet more. Thanks for the recipe. 😊
You sound like my wife! Cheese, cheese, and more cheese!
Now that looked good Zach. I don't remember Mama Bates making that. However, she used to cook up a mess of good food and found so many ways to make it go further. Store bought to home made Kelly Jo knew how to feed that family.
That one’s mine but momma B is coming soon!
Geez if that don’t make you hungry nothing will. Great video and recipe. Keep them coming❣️. Thanks for sharing ♥️
😂😂
I'm over here wiping tears away like I'm your momma. I'm so proud of you! Love this! Keep 'em coming!

We LOVE quesadillas and fajitas in our family. Your recipe looks so good, can't wait to try it out! In my 63 years I've never thought to assemble and then put the tortillas in the pan to crisp them up! I'll be doing that now and forever. Thanks! Nice plating too!
