Ingredients:

🥩 1 small pack of short rib beef
🧅 1/2 onion, sliced
🌿 Carne asada seasoning, to taste
🧂 Salt, to taste
🧀 Oaxaca cheese, shredded
🥑 1 avocado, diced
🛢️ Cooking oil, for frying
🌽 Corn tortillas
🌶️ Green salsa (optional, but recommended)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Slice the short rib beef into thin strips.
   • Slice the onion into half-moon shapes.
   • Dice the avocado and set it aside.
2. Cook the Beef:
   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil.
   • Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent.
   • Add the beef strips to the skillet. Sprinkle carne asada seasoning and salt over the beef.
   • Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through, ensuring it retains its moisture. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas:

   • Place a corn tortilla on the pan and sprinkle a generous amount of Oaxaca cheese on one half.
   • Add a portion of the beef and onion mixture on top of the cheese.
   • Fold the tortilla in half and press down slightly with a spatula.
4. Cook the Quesadillas:
   • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
5. Serve:
   • Carefully remove the quesadillas from the pan.
   • Open them slightly and add diced avocado.
   • Optionally, top with a dollop of green salsa for an extra kick.
