This recipe for fiery shrimp quesadillas includes a fajita-style shrimp and chime pepper filling prepared with cumin, stew powder, jalapeño, and lime. Serve warm with cilantro and harsh cream.

Cooking Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

    • 1 onion, sliced

    • 1 red bell pepper, sliced

    • 1 green bell pepper, sliced

    • 1 teaspoon salt

    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

    • 1 teaspoon chili powder

    • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

    • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced

    • 1 lime, juiced

    • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed

    • 6 large flour tortillas

    • 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided

Cooking Direction

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in an enormous skillet over medium-high intensity. Add onion and ringer peppers; cook, mixing oftentimes, until onion is clear and peppers are delicate, 6 to 8 minutes. Add salt, cumin, and bean stew powder; mix to cover vegetables.

    Add shrimp; cook and mix until shrimp are hazy and at this point not pink in the middle, 3 to 5 minutes. Eliminate from the intensity and mix in minced jalapeño and lime juice.

    Heat one more skillet over medium intensity and brush with around 1 teaspoon oil. Place one tortilla in the hot skillet; spoon around 1/6 of the shrimp filling and 1/2 cup Mexican cheddar mix onto one side of tortilla. Overlap tortilla down the middle. Cook until softly seared on the base, around 5 minutes. Flip and cook until delicately carmelized on the opposite side, 3 to 5 minutes. Rehash to make remaining quesadillas.
