These easy shrimp quesadillas come together quickly and can easily be customized to please the whole family!
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 16 small corn tortillas (substitute flour if you prefer)
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese
- 1 cup frozen salad shrimp, thawed and drained
- 2 ripe avocados,
- cut into small cubes
- sea salt or kosher salt
- chili powder
- 8 ounces queso fresco (a Mexican cheese usually found near feta in your grocery store)
Preparation
- Drizzle a small amount (about a teaspoon) of olive oil in a skillet, and heat over medium-high heat.
- Place a tortilla in the skillet (or more if they will fit), and spread ¼ cup Monterey jack cheese over it.
- Arrange 2 tablespoons shrimp and about 1/4 of one avocado over the cheese. Very lightly sprinkle salt and chili powder over the avocado (just a pinch of each).
- Crumble about a tablespoon of queso fresco over the avocado.
- Top each quesadilla with another tortilla, and carefully flip over with a spatula, keeping the filling contained. Cook for about two minutes longer until the bottom side is lightly browned. Remove and allow to cool for a couple minutes before cutting and serving.
- Repeat these steps until all quesadillas have been cooked, adding a little more oil between each batch. Enjoy!
