Easy to make and always a treat, these fun quesadillas are bursting with flavor. The pepper Jack cheese gives them a nice kick. Feel free to add leftover fried rice.—Artland Campbell, Hyannis, Massachusetts Ingredients:
1/4 pound uncooked small shrimp, peeled and deveined |
2 tablespoons chopped onion |
2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper |
2 tablespoons chopped green pepper |
3 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 egg, beaten |
1/3 cup cooked long grain rice |
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce |
2 slices pepper jack cheese (3/4 ounce each) |
2 flour tortillas (8 inches) |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, saute the shrimp, onion and peppers in 1 tablespoon butter until shrimp turn pink; remove and keep warm.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter until hot. Add egg; cook and stir over medium heat until egg is completely set. Stir in the rice, soy sauce and shrimp mixture.
3. Spread remaining butter over one side of each tortilla. Place tortillas butter side down, on a griddle. Place a slice of cheese on each tortilla.
