Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On one half of each tortilla, place a handful of shredded cheese, followed by a layer of grilled shrimp, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro. Fold the tortilla in half.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook each quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from skillet and let cool for a minute.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm with lime wedges on the side.
