• Let’s break this down into simple steps so we can easily get to the good part: eating!

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

• Start by gathering everything you’ll need. Chop the bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño. Don’t forget to rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry. Keeping everything prepped makes the cooking process much smoother.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

• In a skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Toss in the jalapeño for an extra kick about halfway through.

Step 3: Cook the Shrimp

• Next up, move those sautéed veggies to the side. In the same skillet, add the shrimp. Drizzle olive oil over them, and sprinkle with sea salt, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili flakes. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and curl up. Don’t forget to squeeze in some lime juice!

Step 4: Assemble the Quesadillas

• Now comes the fun part. Take a tortilla and spread some of the shrimp and veggie mixture on one half. Top with a generous handful of Oaxaca cheese, then fold the tortilla over. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 5: Cook the Quesadillas

• In the same skillet, add a little more oil if necessary. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet. Cook on each side for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted. You can press down slightly for even cooking!

Step 6: Slice and Serve

• Once golden, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and slice them into triangles. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
