Directions

Rub steaks all over with salt and pepper. Pan-fry over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Drizzle with lime juice and set aside.

Combine cheese, corn, salsa, jalapeño and hot sauce; Spread ½ cup (125 mL) of mixture evenly over one half of each of the 4 tortillas. Cut steaks into strips, sprinkle over cheese mixture. Fold over tortilla half to form a half-moon. Assemble 3 more quesadillas in the same manner. Place on baking tray.

Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven about 10 minutes or until cheese melts, turning halfway through cooking.

On the grill

Cook steaks over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Assemble the Quesadillas according to the method above. Place the Quesadillas on the grill over low heat for 2 minutes per side or until browned or the cheese is melted.
