Taste of Home Tuesday: Super-Quick Shrimp & Green Chili Quesadillas

Several weeks back Justin and I tried shrimp tacos.  We really enjoyed them so when saw this recipe for shrimp quesadillas we thought we would give them a try.  I bought uncooked shrimp instead of the cooked it calls for.  I just cooked them quick before I started.  I did add a little cumin to the shrimp as they were cooking.  We really enjoyed the flavor of these quesadillas and the time it took to make them was great as well.
