tortilla with the vegetable oil.
7. Once shrimp and vegetables have fully cooked, remove from grill.

2 to 3 minutes per side, until the cheese has melted, vegetables
warmed through, and the tortillas are crispy. Repeat.
9. Cut each quesadilla into quarters. Serve with sides of salsa, sour
cream, and guacamole.
