Description

Deliciously tasty quesadillas best served with a mound of refried beans, a large dollop of sour cream and tons of my Cranberry Salsa.

Ingredients

  • ½ pounds, ½ ounces, weight Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
  • 4 Tablespoons Cajun Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Chipotle Tabasco
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil, For Cooking
  • ½ whole Red Onion, Sliced
  • 5 whole Small Sweet Peppers, Sliced
  • 4 whole Plain Flour Tortillas
  • 4 Tablespoons Salted Butter
  • 7 ounces, weight Grated Cheddar Cheese

Preparation

1. Place the shrimp into a bowl and add the cajun seasoning and chipotle Tabasco. Combine well so that all the shrimp are coated nice and evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge until ready to cook.

2. Add the olive oil to a pan and head on medium. Add the onion and sweet peppers and cook until soft and browning.

3. Remove the shrimp from the fridge and add to the pan. Cook until pink throughout.

4. Remove all the ingredients from the pan and place in a bowl. Set aside.

5. Take the tortillas and butter only one side of each. Use 1 tablespoon per tortilla.

5. In a separate pan, preferably a skillet, heat on medium and place in one tortilla (butter side down). Next, add the ingredients in this order: grated cheese, shrimp, pepper and onion, cheese. Place another tortilla on top (this time butter side up for when you flip it over).

6. Cook on each side for a couple of minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tortillas have browned nicely. Make sure to press on the tortilla lightly with a spatula every now and then to help adhere the ingredients and tortillas. Remove from pan and keep warm.

7. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.

8. Cut quesadillas into four and serve with refried beans, sour cream and my Cranberry Salsa (see my TastyKitchen Recipe Box).
