Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced red onion, and diced green bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Assemble Quesadillas

    Remove the shrimp mixture from the skillet and set aside. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of it with shredded cheddar cheese, add a portion of the shrimp mixture, and fold the tortilla over.

  4. 4

    Cook Quesadillas

    Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the quesadillas into wedges, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with your choice of salsa or dipping sauce.
