Grilled Shrimp & Lime Quesadillas

When you’re used to making a dish one way, like quesadilla’s, its hard to deviate from it. Especially after a long day of work, the last thing you want to be doing is thinking up new ways to liven up your quesadilla.

Which is why you have me! Lime, cilantro and paprika gives these Grilled Shrimp & Lime Quesadillas a unique and wonderfully delicious, mouth-watering flavor (if you don’t like shrimp, use chicken instead).
