Why I Love This Recipe

Ingredients You'll Need

3 tablespoons Dijon-Lemon Vinaigrette
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)

Quesadillas:
1/2 pound flank steak
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Salad: 10 cup torn red leaf lettuce
1 cup vertically sliced red onion
2 large tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges

Directions

Prepare grill. To prepare vinaigrette, combine first 5 ingredients; set aside. To prepare the quesadillas, sprinkle steak with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray, and cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese evenly over each of 2 tortillas. Divide steak evenly over cheese; top with the remaining tortillas. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Cook quesadillas 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove the quesadillas from pan, and cut into 1 inch pieces. Combine the vinaigrette, lettuce, onion, and tomato in a large bowl; toss well. Divide salad evenly among 4 plates; top each serving with quesadilla pieces.
