• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3⁄4 lb large shrimp, pre-cooked, peeled, and deveined
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄2 lb fresh white mushroom, sliced
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 (8 inch) flour tortillas (fat free)
• 1 cup monterey jack cheese (reduced fat)

directions

1. Remove the tails from the shrimp.
2. Spray a non-stick skillet with non-stick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, cumin and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and spinach and cook, stirring frequently until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat, add the shrimp and cilantro.
4. Place a tortilla on a work surface. Top half of the tortilla with 2 tablespoons of cheese, one-fourth of the shrimp mixture, then 2 tablespoons of cheese. Flatten and fold over the top half of the tortilla over the filling to form a semi-circle, lightly pressing the edges to seal.
5. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, making 4 quesdillas.
6. Wipe the skillet clean, spray with non-stick spray, and set over medium heat.
7. Add 2 quesadillas and cook until the cheese melts and outsides of the tortillas are lightly browned, about 4 minutes per side.
8. Transfer quesadillas to a plate and keep warm.
9. Repeat with remaining two quesadillas.
