Marinating your skirt steak in the carne asada marinade for several hours in the refrigerator prior to cooking will add flavor to the final product.
Skirt steak is best when cooked hot and fast over direct heat. Since this cut is naturally thin, it will not take long to reach medium-rare.
High-heat searing will develop a beautiful crust on the outside of your skirt steak, while the inside stays juicy and medium rare.
Due to its prominent and long muscle fibers, it is important to slice a skirt steak against the grain before eating. This will make the steak more tender and significantly easier to chew.
It is recommended to dice the skirt steak into small pieces before assembling your quesadilla. This will allow you to take bites more easily without pulling the quesadilla apart.
Assemble the quesadilla while grilling the tortilla in a cast iron pan. This allows the cheese to melt and hold the skirt steak pieces in place.
Assemble your quesadilla, dip it in the jalapeño cream sauce, and enjoy!
