Method

Preparing the Quesadilla

Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Cook the Shrimp

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the skillet from heat.

Assemble the Quesadilla

On a clean surface, take one flour tortilla and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on one half. Then add a portion of the shrimp and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese. Fold the tortilla in half.

Cook the Quesadilla

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

Making the Guacamole

Prepare the Avocado

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Mash and Mix

Using a fork, mash the avocado until smooth. Add lime juice, salt, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine.

Taste and Adjust

Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if desired.
