Shrimp Tacos with Quesadilla Twist

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shrimp Tacos with Quesadilla Twist.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a sizzling 450°F (230°C) and position an oven rack at the lowest level to ensure even cooking.

2. Step 2

   Grab two baking sheets and give them a light brush with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil each to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   In a skillet, pour in some extra-virgin olive oil and heat it over medium until it shimmers invitingly.

4. Step 4

   Toss in diced tomatoes, chopped onion, fresh cilantro, a splash of ketchup, minced garlic, chopped serrano chile, salt, and black pepper.

5. Step 5

   Let this delightful mixture cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become beautifully translucent and fragrant.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to add the shrimp! Stir them in and cook for just 2 minutes, allowing them to turn opaque but not fully cooked, as they’ll finish baking in the oven.

7. Step 7

   Once done, remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside.

8. Step 8

   On one of your prepared baking sheets, lay out 5 tortillas, and on the other, arrange 4 tortillas.

9. Step 9

   Brush the tops of all the tortillas with the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil for that perfect golden finish.

10. Step 10

    Next, sprinkle shredded pepper Jack cheese generously over all 9 tortillas, followed by an even distribution of the shrimp mixture.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time for the magic! Bake one sheet at a time in your preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is delightfully melted.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re ready, quickly transfer the tacodillas to a serving platter, folding each one in half like a taco as you go.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the deliciousness of your creation, and get ready to impress your family and friends with this mouthwatering dish!.
