Recipe Description

These Halloween quesadillas are sure to get everyone into the spirit. You’ll want to toast the jack-o-lantern tortillas first before adding them to the top of the quesadillas instead of flipping them. That way the cheese and fillings won’t escape from the eye and mouth holes.



Ingredients

1 (18-ounce) package SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp

3 tablespoons canola oil

1 (12-ounce) package fajita vegetables

1 tablespoon taco seasoning

8 soft taco-size flour tortillas

1 (8-ounce) block Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Salsa and sour cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bake the SeaPak Popcorn Shrimp according to package directions, 10 to 12 minutes.

While the shrimp bake, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fajita vegetables and taco seasoning and cook 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Remove the vegetables from the skillet to a bowl and wipe the skillet clean.

Using a paring knife, cut a jack-o-lantern face into each of 4 tortillas. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in the skillet and brown each of the jack-o-lantern tortillas 1 minute. Set aside.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese onto the remaining 4 tortillas. Top evenly with the fajita vegetables and shrimp. Sprinkle with another 1/4 cup cheese and place the jack-o-lantern tortillas on top.

Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 quesadilla and cook, face-side up, 1 minute or until browned. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

Serve with salsa and sour cream.
