CHORIZO SHRIMP QUESADILLA 

This is such a simple recipe and quesadillas are a great way to use up leftovers. As well, quesadillas so are easy to make even younger cooks can master the quesadilla-making technique.

INGREDIENTS

Chorizo – Basically, chorizo is a sausage originating from Spain and Latin America. It’s seasoned heavily with traditional Mexican spices. Specifically, but not limited to paprika, which gives it the red color. Furthermore, you can get chorizo in casings or ground and either way will work for this recipe. If it’s crumbled like ground beef simply cook it in a skillet and break it as it cooks. If it’s in casings, you can either remove the casings or slice the sausage and cook it sliced.

Shrimp – You can use fresh or frozen shrimp of any size and remove the shells.

Cheese – You can use any type of cheese. Cheddar, pepper jack, and Colby will all be well paired with shrimp and chorizo.

Salsa – I like chunky, mild salsa but use your favorite salsa for this recipe.

Flour Tortillas – Again, use your favorite tortilla whether it’s gluten-free or keto-friendly. Any type will work.
