Preparation Steps

1

Cook the Shrimp

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add shrimp, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.

2

Assemble the Quesadillas

Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. On one half of the tortilla, layer a portion of the shrimp mixture and top with shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling.

3

Cook the Quesadillas

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, and place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook until the tortilla is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

4

Serve

Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
