Mexican Shrimp Breakfast Quesadilla

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound shrimp
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups Mexican blend cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 large avocado
  • 1 whole lime
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro

Instructions:

  1. Begin by peeling and deveining the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in a hot skillet with a little oil until they are pink and opaque. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a separate pan, scramble the eggs to your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Warm up each tortilla in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side.
  4. Spread a layer of cheese on one half of each tortilla. Top the cheese with an even distribution of scrambled eggs, cooked shrimp, and diced chipotle peppers.
  5. Fold the tortilla over onto the filled half and press lightly to seal. Cook each quesadilla in a hot skillet, flipping gently once, until both sides are golden and crispy and the cheese is melted. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Serve your quesadillas with fresh sliced avocado, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkling of cilantro for an exotic Mexican breakfast.
