Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Combine the ingredients for the Creole rub and Creole sauce in separate bowls. Set both aside.
- Use the rub to season the steak and shrimp, and reserve the sauce for filling and dipping.
- Toss the cubed ribeye and quartered shrimp with avocado oil and Creole rub. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
- Chop the poblano, red bell peppers, and yellow bell pepper. Slice the yellow onion. Keep them aside until ready to cook.
Cooking
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add avocado oil, then cook the prepared vegetables with a light sprinkle of Creole rub for 6–8 minutes until tender and translucent. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same griddle or skillet, cook the marinated steak for 6–8 minutes over medium heat, turning frequently until evenly browned. Set aside.
- Add the shrimp to the griddle and cook for 4–5 minutes, tossing every minute until pink and opaque. Mix with steak and vegetables.
- Blend the cooked steak, shrimp, and vegetables on the griddle for 2 minutes to combine flavors.
- Place a 14-inch tortilla on the griddle. Toast for 1 minute, then flip it over. Sprinkle with cheese, layer with filling, drizzle with Creole sauce, and fold into a half-moon shape.
- Toast the folded quesadilla for about 2 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Slice quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with extra Creole sauce for dipping.
