  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Drizzle a small amount (about a teaspoon) of olive oil in a skillet, and heat over medium-high heat.
  2. Place a tortilla in the skillet (or more if they will fit), and spread ¼ c. Monterey jack cheese over it. Arrange 2 tbsp. shrimp and about ¼ 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Repeat these steps until all quesadillas have been cooked, adding a little more oil between each batch. Enjoy!
