The 308 Seasoning Recipe: Chipotle Steak Quesadilla

We love a hearty quesadilla, and if there’s steak involved, that’s even better! We recently encountered the viral Chipotle Quesadilla hack on TikTok from Keith Lee and Alexis Frost, and couldn’t resist creating our own Vegas-style version of this Steak Fajitadilla!

Our version of this viral recipe brings our delectable Sammy New York Strip Steak, Table 40 Seasoning, Sergio’s Seasoning, and fajita vegetables together for an unforgettable spin on a classic Mexican favorite.

Here’s what you’ll need to create your own Vegas-style Steak Fajita Quesadilla at home:

INGREDIENTS:

Steak Fajita Filling:

• NY Strip Steak (we used The Sammy)
• 1 red onion, sliced thinly
• 1 green pepper, sliced into strips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon Sergio’s Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon Table 40 Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon Maitre D’ Butter
• Monterey Jack cheese

Vinaigrette Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon Sergio’s Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon Table 40 Seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 2/3 cup of olive oil
• 1 cup sour cream

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat and add onion and green pepper strips, sprinkling with Sergio’s Seasoning.
2. Cook until vegetables are soft and caramelized, stirring frequently, about 8 – 10 minutes.
3. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
4. Mix the Sergio's Seasoning, Table 40 Seasoning, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl and use to generously dry rub the strip steak, ensuring even coverage.
5. Add the steak to skillet and sear on both sides.
6. When the steak is close to your desired doneness, add the Maitre D’ Butter, spooning the melted butter over the steak continuously as it finishes cooking. Set aside and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting into strips.
7. Add sour cream to a small dipping bowl and set aside.
8. Combine the rest of the vinaigrette ingredients in a mixer or food processor and blend until thoroughly combined.
9. Spoon the vinaigrette into the sour cream (to taste) and stir well.
10. Add olive oil to a pan and warm tortilla.
11. Coat tortilla with a layer of Monterey Jack cheese, then add steak strips and cooked vegetables to one half.
12. Once the cheese is melted, fold the quesadilla in half. Remove from pan and slice into sections.
13. Drizzle or dip quesadilla in vinaigrette sour cream sauce and savor the flavor!
