BBQ SHRIMP QUESADILLAS
 Serves: 4
Ingredients:
• 8 ounces cooked shrimp, diced
• 1 orange bell pepper, roasted or grilled and finely diced
• 2/3 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons all-natural barbecue sauce
• Four 10-inch flour tortillas
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
Instructions:
Combine the shrimp, bell pepper, corn kernels, cheese, and barbecue sauce in a bowl.
Divide the mixture evenly and spread over half of each tortilla. Fold over, press down gently, and set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add two of the quesadillas and cook until the tortillas become crisp and golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the tortillas and cook an additional 2 minutes.
Repeat with the remaining oil and quesadillas.
Cut into quarters and serve.
