Filling

Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  2. 2

    Season the Filling

    Stir in the lime juice, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the shrimp are fully cooked and well coated in the seasoning.

  3. 3

    Add Cilantro

    Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped cilantro. Set the shrimp filling aside.

Quesadilla Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Add a portion of the shrimp filling on top of the cheese, then sprinkle more cheese over the shrimp. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

  2. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a clean skillet over medium heat, add the folded quesadilla. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

  3. 6

    Repeat and Serve

    Repeat the assembly and cooking process for the remaining tortillas and filling. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and guacamole on the side.
