Shrimp Quesadilla


These quesadillas are a meal all by themselves...perfect for a hot day.  It can be served soft by microwaving or crunchy by cooking in a pan.  This serves 2.

8 flour tortillas
2 c. Cooked shrimp, cut in pieces if large
1 c. Sliced onion
1 c. Sliced red, green or yellow peppers
1/2 t. Paprika
1/2 t. Cumin
1/2 t. Oregano
1 avocado, sliced into slices or pieces
Salsa
2 c. Shredded cheddar cheese
2 c. Fresh spinach 
Sour cream
1 T. Olive oil

Heat oil in a pan.  Add peppers and onions and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.  Add shrimp and spices.  Cook just enough to warm the shrimp.  Place 4 of the tortillas on a flat surface.  Divide cheese between the 4 tortillas.
Divide spinach into 4 piles and place on top of cheese.  Divide shrimp mixture into 4 portions and put one portion on each tortilla. Top with remaining tortillas.  Microwave for one minute for a soft tortilla.  For a crunchy tortilla put a little oil in a fry pan, cook one side until crisp, flip and cook other side.  Cut into 1/4s or 1/8 s and top with salsa, sour cream and guacamole.
