Prawn Qeusadillas

Quesadillas de Camarones
This recipe is from Pioneer Woman Cooks, my favourite food porn website. Translated into Australian by me. We had these last week and they were delish. Quick as well.

8 Flour tortillas
500g raw prawn meat
1 cup taco sauce
1 large onion, chopped
1 red capsicum (could subsitute other veges about 1 cup per capsicum)
1 green capsicum (could substitute other veges but capsicum is the authentic flavour)
2 cups cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste

Pour taco sauce over prawns. Set aside. All day if necessary, though an hour is enough.
Chop vegetables into large pieces.
Heat frypan over high heat and add olive oil.
Cook vegetables over high heat until they start to get brown/black.
Remove from frypan and set aside. Return frypan to high heat, then dump in the prawns with the sauce. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until prawns look opaque. Add in a little water if the sauce gets dry.
Remove from pan and chop into bite-size pieces.
In a separate skillet, heat butter. Place a tortilla in the skillet, then layer on ingredients: cheese, vegetables, and shrimp. Top with a little more cheese and a second tortilla. Cook on both sides, adding butter before flipping to the other side so the tortilla isn’t overly dry.Remove from skillet and slice into wedges. Serve with rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, guacamole—whatever you’d like!
