Warmed cilantro lime shrimp quesadilla
A ready-made quesadilla from the shelf needs only heat and a few fresh things alongside. This one has shrimp and cheese built in; you'll crisp it in a pan and serve it with what makes it sing: lime, cilantro, and a cool topping.

To buy
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 lime
From your shelf
- 1 cilantro lime shrimp quesadilla (Whole Foods Market)
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once it shimmers, lay the quesadilla in the pan and cook until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 3 minutes, watching that it doesn't burn.
- Flip the quesadilla carefully and cook the second side until golden, another 2 to 3 minutes. The cheese inside will be hot and the shrimp warmed through when both sides have color.
- Transfer to a cutting board and halve the quesadilla with a sharp knife. Arrange on two plates and serve at once with sour cream on the side, a lime wedge for squeezing, and any fresh cilantro you have.
Note Swap sour cream for crema or Greek yogurt if you have it. Leftovers reheat well in a dry skillet the next day. Serve with black beans, white rice, or a simple green salad alongside to stretch it further.
