Heat a large drizzle of oil in pan used for corn over high heat. Add steak and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, 2-4 minutes. TIP: Steak will cook a bit more in the quesadillas, so we cooked it to medium rare.

Place tortillas on a clean work surface; evenly top one half of each tortilla with Mexican cheese blend. Top with steak, then fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for steak over medium heat. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes per side (work in batches for 4 servings). TIP: Lower heat if tortillas are browning too quickly.
