Quesadilla

Shrimp Diablo Pasta

Method

Quesadilla Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Dice the tomatoes and onions into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Assemble Quesadillas

    On a clean surface, place a tortilla down and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes and onions, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook Quesadillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted. Remove and repeat with remaining tortillas.
