Instructions:

1. Marinate the Steak:
   • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

   • Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
   • Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
3. Prepare the Quesadillas:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil or butter.
   • Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over half of the tortilla.
   • Add a layer of sliced steak, bell peppers, red onion, black beans, and avocado slices.
   • Sprinkle a little more cheese on top of the fillings, and fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
4. Cook the Quesadillas:
   • Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
   • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
5. Serve:
   • Cut the quesadillas into wedges and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
   • Serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
