Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Cook for around 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Place one tortilla on a clean surface. Spread half of the shrimp and vegetable mixture on one half of the tortilla, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over it.

  5. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. In a clean skillet, cook the quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat, cut into wedges, and serve with lettuce, tomato, and sour cream on the side.
