Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the ranchero sauce and cook for another 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, layer the cooked shrimp mixture and sprinkle jack cheese on top. Fold the tortillas over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil. Place the quesadillas in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot topped with chopped cilantro, pico de gallo, and salsa La Puerta.
