1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Assemble the Quesadilla
On one half of each tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans. Top with grilled shrimp and sprinkle with shredded monterey jack cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.
3
Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if necessary. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
4
Serve
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and cut them into wedges. Serve hot with guacamole and crema fresca on the side.
