Shrimp Quesadillas/Tacos

I love Mexican food. I can never get enough.

This weeked we wanted something quick and easy. We also wanted shrimp. So the perfect solution was to make some quesadillas.
We made this recipe in a cinch. It's great for get togethers or just for a yummy lunch or dinner.


Ingredients

1 lb deveined shrimps
Shredded cheese (I used the one with 4 kinds of Mexican cheeses)
Cotija Cheese (I found a crumbled one)
Flour Tortillas(small ones)
Avocados
Sour Cream
Olive Oil
Mrs. Dash SouthWest Chipotle Seasoning
Grill
Lime



Marinade for Shrimp:

There are no amounts because really I just eye balled it. You can add as much or as little of each ingredient as you like.

Mrs. Dash Seasoning
Salt/Pepper
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Olive Oil

Leave them in the marinade for about 30 minutes (refridgerated).

Saute them in a pan until they get nice and pink. (10-15 minutes)

Set aside.


Place tortillas on grill. Add the shredded cheese and let melt for a few minutes.

Once cheese is melted, add the shrimp, the cortija cheese, and some more shredded cheese.



You can take them off the grill here and eat them like tacos. We opted for quesadillas and placed another tortilla on top of the 2nd mound of cheese. You can flip the quesadilla over or if you are using a sandwhich press, lower the top.

Cut avocado slices and place on top of the quesadilla or inside of the tacos.

Top with a dollop of sour cream.
