Servings: 8 wedges
Ingredients
- 8 oz raw shrimp, peeled and deveined This should yield about two cups of cooked and chopped shrimp
- 2 TBSP avocado or olive oil
- Large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 cup diced mango
- 4 oz can of diced green chiles
- 1 tsp Tajin seasoning (optional)
- 1 tsp taco seasoning
- 2 TBSP plain Greek yogurt Or you could use sour cream
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425º F; position the rack in the center.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the mango with the Tajin and give it a toss. Heat a bit of oil in a skillet, and add the onion and mango. Sauté for about 2 minutes or just until the onions and mango have softened, then transfer to the mixing bowl.
- Now place the shrimp into the heated skillet. The pan will still have seasoning in it from the onions and mango, so no need to season the shrimp. Simple let them cook for about 2 minutes, or until opaque and curled into a C, flipping them halfway through. Then transfer them to a cutting board, discard the tails if necessary, and roughly chop the shrimp. Add them to the mixing bowl with the onions and mango.
- To the mixing bowl, add the taco seasoning, yogurt, and shredded cheese. Stir well to ensure everything is well blended. Squeeze some fresh lime juice in there and give it another stir.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly brush it with a bit of oil.
- Place a tortilla down onto the parchment and spoon about a cup or so of the shrimp mixture to one side of the tortilla, patting it down and spreading it out to cover the majority of half of one side. Fold the tortilla over to close it, pressing down lightly to secure it.
- Carefully slide the tortilla over on the baking sheet and proceed with the others until you're out of the mixture.
- Brush the tops of the closed tortillas with a bit of oil and pop them into the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crisp.
- When done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 5-10 minutes.
- With a sharp knife, cut the tortillas into wedges and serve them with your favorite quesadilla condiments!
