Monday Munchies: Shrimp Quesadillas with Tomato Avocado Salsa

Hello! We have been eating really well this week... lots of good recipes! Tonight was made some AWESOME low-fat quesadillas. I know what you're thinking...the thought of quesadillas isn't low fat...but these weren't bad for you and they tasted delicious! We also made our own salsa!

Our recipe was adapted from Skinnytaste with ingredients we could find at our local Super Target!

Ingredients:

Salsa

• 1 medium avocado, diced
• 3/4 regular sized can of plain, diced tomatoes
• 1/4 red onion, diced
• 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Quesadillas

• 16 large shrimp
• cumin
• garlic powder
• salt and pepper
• 1/2 cup fat free cheddar cheese
• 4 wheat/high fiber tortillas (we used Mission Artisan Style Corn-Wheat Tortillas... we are kind of obsessed with them)
• olive oil spray

1. For salsa... pour 3/4 can of tomatoes in bowl. Mix in diced avocado and red onion with a spoon. Then mix in lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Place aside (and try not to snack on it while you cook like I did! :))
2. Spray cooking spray in can. Season shrimp with cumin, garlic, salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until cooked through (2-3 minutes). Set aside.
3. Spray more cooking spray in pan (this is imperative for the quesadilla). Place tortilla in pan. Add 1/4 cup of cheese, 8 shrimp and salsa. Cook over medium heat until cheese is melted.

   4. Place second tortilla over shrimp and goodies. To turn the quesadilla, lift off of pan with spatchula. Place plate on top of uncooked tortilla. Flip plate to bottom and slide back onto pan (I added more cooking spray...I really didnt want them to stick). Cook for 2-3 more minutes until tortilla is brown.

We used the additional salsa to dip our quesadillas in! So yummy!

Let me know if you try it/what you think! We LOVED them! :)
