Mexican Beef Steak Quesadillas

Made with beef fast-fry steaks, these quesadilla are super fast and easy. You can't go wrong with this quesadilla recipe -- kids of all ages love them. In summer, you can prepare the quesadilla on the grill (see Grill Option).
4Beef Fast-fry Steaks, about 12 oz (375 g)
½ tsp (2 mL)EACH salt and pepper
2 tbsp (30 mL)fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 ½ cup (375 mL)shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 cup (250 mL)frozen corn, thawed
¼ cup (50 mL)salsa
1jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
½ tsp (2 mL)hot sauce
