# Needed Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 6 ounces mushrooms, chopped
02 - 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
04 - 1/2 onion, chopped
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
06 - 1/2 pound thinly sliced cheesesteak beef

→ Assembly

07 - 1 burrito-sized flour tortilla
08 - 3 slices provolone cheese, halved
09 - 2 teaspoons mayonnaise

→ Cooking essentials

10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
11 - Salt and pepper to taste

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Pour 2 teaspoons of olive oil into a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced cheesesteak beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook the beef until browned to your desired doneness. Drain excess fat, remove the beef from the skillet, and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté over medium heat until vegetables are softened.
03 - Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and blend everything thoroughly. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld flavors.
04 - Spread mayonnaise evenly on the burrito-sized tortilla. Place the beef and vegetable mixture on one side of the tortilla. Top evenly with halved provolone cheese slices. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the filling.
05 - Add 1 teaspoon olive oil to a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook until golden and crisp on both sides, ensuring the cheese is fully melted.
06 - Remove from the skillet, slice the quesadilla, and serve immediately.
