Shrimp Quesadillas with Papaya Salsa
This has become our most requested recipe recently.
Ingredients
1 lb. medium shrimp peeled and deveined, cut into smallish pieces
1 TBSP olive oyl
1/2 cup onion chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tbsp taco seasoning (we make our own)
1-2 cups melting cheese like jack, Mex blend, mozzarella
6-8 medium flour tortillas
Heat 1 tbsp oil in large skillet, add onion, bells and garlic cook for 1-2 minutes
Add the shrimp, seasoning and cook for few minutes until shrimp turns pink
Transfer to bowl, wipe pan clean with paper towel.
Put cheese on one half a tortilla, spoon shrimp mixture, more cheese, fold in half, cook 2-3 minutes, flip and cook 2-3 minutes until golden and
crispy.
Serve with the salsa
Papaya Salsa
1 large papaya, diced
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell
1 TBSP chopped cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
2 TSP rice wine vinegar
Combine and mix well
We've noticed the raves go way up if a half-bottle of wine is first consumed, YMMV

Santiago, you keep leaving out two important instructions from your wonderful recipes!
My older sister, who was an advanced girl scout, taught me long ago that the first two steps were "Blow your nose, and wash your hands!" 
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
