Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, toss the shrimp with ancho chili powder, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Shrimp

    Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and cooked through. Remove from heat and chop into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, spread a layer of pesto, sprinkle with goat cheese and queso Chihuahua, and top with the grilled shrimp. Fold the tortilla over to close.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same grill pan, cook each quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with chipotle crema on the side.
