A quick, delicious lunch or dinner! I made this for Justice on my way out the door to dinner with the girlz - I had the guilties for leaving him hungry.
I had leftover shrimp from a Christmas gathering, and needed to use it up. You can make this with any filler, too.
- Olive Oil
- Juice from half a lime (or less)
- Kosher salt
- About 5-6 shrimp (cooked, and rough chop)
- Chopped fresh cilantro
Mix those ingredients above, and let soak in a small bowl while you prepare the rest.
- 1/4 of a green pepper
- 1/4 onion
- Adobo seasoning
- 1 TB veg oil
Get the oil heated over medium heat, and saute the pepper and onion til soft. Season with Adobo. Add the shrimp and saute til hot.
Assembly!
- 2 flour tortillas, brushed with oil (olive or veg is fine)
- black beans
- mexi-cheese (or your fave)
Get a clean skillet hot over medium heat. (if you have a grill pan, use that).
Brush the tortillas with oil and place the oil side down on a plate. Assemble by adding the shrimp mixture, beans, and cheese. top with other tortilla, oil side up.

Carefully flip the quesadilla from the plate to the skillet, this will take some trickery and minor acrobatics. Brown both sides. Cut into triangles. Serve with cilantro-lime sour cream and salsa.
Cilantro-lime Sour Cream:
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Juice 1/4 of a lime
- Kosher salt
- Chopped cilantro
