1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix olive oil, chopped onion, diced tomato, salt, black pepper, and cilantro. Add the shrimp and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2
Grill the Shrimp
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through.
3
Assemble the Quesadilla
On one half of each tortilla, place a portion of grilled shrimp and sprinkle cheese on top. Fold the tortilla over.
4
Cook the Quesadilla
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the folded quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden and the cheese has melted.
5
Serve
Cut the quesadilla into wedges and serve with rice, guacamole salad, and sour cream on the side.
