Instructions

  1. Preheat grill and oven to 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, pat dry steak and generously season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl mix together cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Set aside.

  2. Cut both avocados in half, remove pits and scoop out all halves from the skin using a large spoon; discard skin. Slice one avocado in to 1/4" slices. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and cover in plastic wrap. Set aside. Chop remaining avocado and mix with pico de gallo. Set aside.

  3. Add steak to the grill and cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium doneness. Transfer steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil; let it rest for 5 minutes. Cut into thin slices cut on a diagonal.

  4. Prepare 2 rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Place tortillas in pan and add 1/2 cup of cheese mixture. Layer slices of avocado and steak. Cover with 1/2 cup of cheese and place tortilla on top. Repeat for remaining quesadillas. Bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

  5. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with pico de gallo avocado salsa

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Steak Quesadillas that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
