Tequila Lime Shrimp Quesadillas

I made up this recipe myself...go ME!!! I am trying to use up things we have in the house before we move on to the next place the Marine Corps moves us.  On a side note, we have the perfect picture that we got for a wedding gift that was handed down to us by another Marine family. It says " HOME is where the Marine Corps moves you!" Soooo true!


I flipped open the quesadilla so you could see what I put inside.

1 can of corn, drained
1 can of beans, drained and rinsed ( I would normally use black beans but we had kidney beans so I used those)
1 lb of frozen, cooked, detailed shrimp; thawed
1/4 cup lime juice
1 shot of tequila
salt
pepper
Corn tortillas
Shredded cheese
salsa
sour cream

Thaw the shrimp by running water over it.  Place shrimp in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add lime juice and tequila, stir and marinade for 20 minutes. Pour shrimp and marinade into a skillet. Add corn and beans to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until heated through. Drain off juice.  If you have a quesadilla maker (thank you Nicole) then heat it up; if not heat another skillet. Place one tortilla on the quesdilla maker (or skillet), top with cheese, shrimp mixture, cheese then a second tortilla. Heat for several minutes until cheese is melted. If using a skillet, flip the quesadilla to heat on each side. Remove quesadilla to a plate and top with sour cream and salsa. If you have guac add that too but we were out! Enjoy!!!
