Description

A delightful combination of steak, shrimp, and vegetables encased in a warm tortilla, featuring vibrant Creole flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound steak (sirloin or flank steak), sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the steak with Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and let it rest.
  3. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Set aside.
  4. Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet, sautéing until softened.
  5. Slice the cooked steak into thin strips.
  6. On one half of each tortilla, layer cheese, steak, shrimp, and sautéed veggies.
  7. Fold the tortilla in half and cook on a skillet until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa or sour cream.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the steak in Creole seasoning and consider using different cheese blends. Serve with avocado salad or pico de gallo.
