Black Bean Prawn Quesadillas Recipes

SHRIMP QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or pan. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 minute or until tender.
• Add the shrimp and taco seasoning and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until shrimp begins to turn pink.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl and rinse and whip down the pan with a paper towel. Return the pan to the heat and spray cooking spray or brush with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
• Place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle cheese on one side of the tortilla. Spoon about 5-6 shrimp or enough to cover with another sprinkle of cheese. Fold tortilla in half. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Repeat for reaming tortillas.
• Serve with Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.

BLACK BEAN & PRAWN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the onion and pepper and fry for 10 mins or until the onions have softened and are beginning to turn golden brown. Tip in the prawns and cook for 3 mins, then add the garlic and paprika and fry for another min. Stir through the coriander and beans, then season.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle pan over a high heat. Put one of the tortillas in the pan, then pile on the black bean and prawn mixture followed by the cheese. Press the other tortilla firmly on top, then use something heavy like a saucepan to weigh everything down. Leave to cook for 1-2 mins. Carefully flip over, weigh down again and cook for another 1-2 mins. Cut into four and serve with hot sauce and salad, if you like.

PRAWN & CHORIZO QUESADILLA

• Heat the oil in a pan. Fry the onion and pepper for 10 mins. Add the chorizo and fry for 5 mins more. Stir in the garlic, chipotle paste, cumin, ground coriander and prawns, then fry for 2 mins more. Add the lime juice and season.
• Spread the mixture over 1 tortilla and top with the second tortilla. Heat a frying pan over a high heat. When hot, add the quesadilla and cook on each side for 1-2 mins. Cut into four and serve with guacamole, if you like.
