Blazing Tex-Mex Cookout Dinner

Allergens

Gluten (wheat) in flour tortillas, dairy in cheese blend and sour cream.

Ingredients

• 1. 2 lbs beef sirloin, thinly sliced 2. 1 large onion, finely chopped 3. 2 bell peppers, diced 4. 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained 5. 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies 6. 1 packet taco seasoning 7. 1/2 cup barbecue sauce 8. 8 large flour tortillas 9. 4 cups shredded cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack, and pepper Jack) 10. 1 jalapeño, sliced for garnish 11. Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish 12. Sour cream, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat your outdoor grill to medium high heat and oil the grates.
2. Season the beef with taco seasoning and place on the grill, cooking until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and thinly slice.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and bell peppers until softened, about 5 minutes. Add black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and barbecue sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. To assemble, spread a generous portion of the beef and bean mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese blend, then fold the tortillas in half to create a quesadilla like shape.
5. Place the filled tortillas on the preheated grill and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
6. Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice each grilled tortilla into three equal portions. Garnish with jalapeño slices, fresh cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.

Chef’s Insight

The secret to this dish is getting that perfect balance of flavors and textures - crispy, melty cheese against tender beef and perfectly seasoned beans. Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses or taco seasonings for a personalized touch.

Notes

Adjust the heat levels to your taste by adding or removing jalapeño slices and green chilies.
