I tried these at a friend’s party and had to ask for the recipe!! Don’t tell anyone, but they might be even better than my mom’s. They’re incredibly easy to make and taste amazing. Now I bring them to every gathering.
Quesadillas and Philly cheesesteak come from very different food traditions, but when combined they create an irresistible fusion meal. Tender beef, sautéed vegetables, and a melty mix of Provolone and Mexican cheeses are wrapped inside soft tortillas and toasted until perfectly golden and crisp.
The best part? This recipe is fast, simple, and uses just a few everyday ingredients. It’s great for lunch, dinner, or even a late-night snack—and these quesadillas are always a crowd favorite.
Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas 🧀🥩🌮
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thinly sliced beef | 1 lb | |
| Onion, finely chopped | 1 | |
| Red bell pepper, diced | 1 | |
| Green bell pepper, diced | 1 | |
| Mushrooms, sliced | 1 cup | |
| Garlic, minced | 2 cloves | |
| Olive oil | 2 tbsp | Divided |
| Provolone cheese | 6 slices | |
| Mexican cheese blend | ½ cup | |
| Black pepper | ¼ tsp | |
| Kosher salt | To taste | |
| Sriracha mayo or regular mayo | Optional | For spreading |
| Flour or corn tortillas | 4 medium |
Instructions
1. Cook the Beef
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender and the liquid has evaporated. Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and keep warm.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
Using the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the onion, peppers, mushrooms, and garlic until softened. Return the beef to the skillet, mix well, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas
If using, spread a thin layer of mayo on the tortillas. Divide the beef and vegetable mixture evenly between them. Place Provolone slices on top and sprinkle with the Mexican cheese blend. Fold the tortillas in half to form quesadillas.
4. Toast the Quesadillas
Heat a clean skillet over low heat with a small drizzle of oil. Cook each quesadilla until the tortilla turns crispy and the cheese melts, flipping once for even browning.
5. Serve
Cut into wedges and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
✨ Tip: Add sliced jalapeños for extra heat, or use flatbread instead of tortillas for a crispier texture.
