ingredients
- 1 cup Mexican red sauce
- 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks
- 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking tortillas
- 6 flour tortillas
- 2 cups grated cheese (Monterey Jack is best)
- sour cream, for serving
- fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
- lime wedge, for serving
directions
- On a large plate, pour the red sauce over the shrimp and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Cook the onions and bell peppers over high heat until they start to get nicely browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the shrimp with the sauce. Cook, stirring only occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque. Add in a little water if the sauce gets dry. Remove from the skillet and chop the shrimp into bite-size pieces.
- In a clean skillet, heat some butter. Place a tortilla in the skillet, then layer on the 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 the skillet and slice into wedges. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and filling ingredients.
- Serve with sour cream, cilantro, and lime wedges.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
