SEAFOOD QUESADILLAS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Sautee the onions, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add them to a bowl with the seafood, citrus, and cilantro. Mix to combine. Heat up a pan. When it's good and hot, coat it with spray oil (I used olive oil spray), and place the cheese-covered tortilla on the bottom. Top it with the seafood mixture. Then add more cheese on top and another tortilla. Spray the oil on the top of the tortilla. When the bottom tortilla is golden brown, flip over and brown the other side. Place on a cutting board and cut your quesadilla into triangles. I do a cut across the middle, and then two across the diagonal, making 6 triangles. I bet these quesadillas would be awesome with a mango salsa. But I just ate them plain. This recipe makes 4-6 quesadillas (depending on how much seafood you use).

SHRIMP QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in the hot oil, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and peppers are soft, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Stir salt, cumin, and chili powder into onion and bell peppers.
• Stir shrimp into onion and bell peppers and cook until shrimp are opaque and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat; stir jalapeno pepper and lime juice into shrimp mixture.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and brush with about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.
• Place a tortilla in the hot oil. Spoon about 1/6 shrimp filling and 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend on one side of tortilla. Fold tortilla in half.
• Cook until bottom of tortilla is lightly browned, about 5 minutes; flip and cook other side until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
