Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and diced jalapeño, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    Lay one flour tortilla in a separate skillet over medium heat. On one half of the tortilla, sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, add a portion of the shrimp mixture, and top with another 1/2 cup of cheese. Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro.
