This shrimp tacodillas recipe is a cross between a taco and a quesadilla. They are crispy on the outside with a melty and cheesy interior. Top with sliced avocado, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, and hot sauce, such as Tapatio. Delicious and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil , divided
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.75 cups diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 0.25 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 serrano chile pepper , chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1 pound large shrimp , peeled, deveined, and cut into
  • 9 corns tortillas , 6 inch
  • 2 cups shredded pepper Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) with rack in the lowest position. Brush two baking sheets with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil each.

  2. 2

    Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet until shimmering. Add tomatoes, onion, cilantro, ketchup, garlic, serrano, salt, and black pepper; cook and stir until onion is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add shrimp; cook until shrimp are opaque but not cooked completely, about 2 minutes. Shrimp will continue to cook in the oven. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Place 5 tortillas on 1 prepared baking sheet and 4 tortillas on remaining prepared baking sheet. Brush tortilla tops with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Divide pepper Jack cheese among tortillas, followed by shrimp mixture.

  4. 4

    Bake, one baking sheet at a time, in the preheated oven until tortillas start to turn golden brown and cheese has melted, 7 to 9 minutes. Repeat with remaining baking sheet and tortillas.

  5. 5

    Transfer tacodillas to a serving platter, one at a time, working as quickly as possible; fold in half, like tacos.
