Written by Kevin Vitkus<\/em><\/p>\n

Over my time here at Roanoke I have enjoyed a variety of meals that the commons have provided for me. However, one of my passions and favorite pass-times is cooking. This has been tough though as college costs as much as it does and I\u2019m not working 40 hours a week. Not to mention the balance of class and clubs. However, I have found that with time management and proper budgeting I can make some of my favorites.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article I will share some of my favorite recipes with all of you and help you find your best price. We will go from the cheapest (that I can find) to what is a decent higher-end budget price for college students. This week we will be exploring spice steak quesadillas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Directions<\/b><\/p>\n

Defrost steak ahead of time. For tortillas coat with butter on one side for each.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take Steak and season (to taste) on one side with Cayenne, Sea salt, and Black Peppercorn.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Place steak in a pre-heated pan. Stir fry steak cooks quickly so leave on each side for about a minute.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. In a separate pre-heated pan place tortilla on coated side. Then begin to add your ingredients. Do a small layer of cheese, then add your steak, put more seasoning on or add your serrano peppers. Then add your final layer of cheese. Put the non-coated side of your second tortilla on top of that.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Flip the tortilla to heat the other side. One you believe the cheese is melted, remove from pan.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Place on plate or cutting board and slice to make 4 pieces. Enjoy!!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
