Start by mixing all the spices together in a small bowl.
Rub spice mixture onto sirloin steak.
Heat oil in a large skillet.
Sear steak on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Do not overcook.
Remove steak from heat and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
Slice steak into thin strips and then dice into ½ inch chunks, set aside.
Now it’s time to assemble these quesadillas. Place a tortilla onto work surface and spread out about ½ cup of cheese. Add black beans and corn.
Top with diced tomatoes, diced avocado, and minced Jalapeno.
Place diced steak on top of the fillings.
Add some chopped cilantro.
Sprinkle with another generous layer of cheese.
Top with another flour tortilla, pressing all the filling ingredients together.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a heavy bottom skillet over medium heat.
Place quesadilla in buttered skillet and cook until tortilla is golden brown.
Use a spatula to carefully flip Quesadilla. Cook until the other side is browned and the cheese is melted.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Assemble and cook remaining quesadillas.
Cut each cooked quesadilla into wedges.
Serve with lime wedges and top with a generous dollop of sour cream and cilantro.
