I didn't want to take the time to make that recipe so it cannot be considered 'TNT'. 1. Heat margarine in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, corn and garlic, and saute 30 seconds. Add tomato and jalapeno; saute 4 minutes. Stir in shrimp, lemon juice, cilantro and salt; saute 3 minutes. Remove corn mixture from skilllet; keep warm. 2. Place 1 tortilla in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; top with 1/4 cup cheese. Spoon 1/2 cup corn mixture over cheese; top with a tortilla. Cook 3 minutes pressing down with a spatula until cheese melts. Turn carefujlly; cook until thoroughly heated (about 1 minute). Repeat porocedure with the remaining tortillas, cheese and corn mixture. Cut each quesadilla into quarters; serve with salsa. NOTES : I used precooked salad shrimp for quicker preparation. I think chicken would be a good substitute for the shrimp. Recipe by: Cooking Light/April 1998 Posted to TNT Recipes Digest by Karen 1998 |
