Black Eyed Pea Quesadillas Recipes

Steps:

• Microwave the black eyed peas alone, to get some of the juices out: around 30 seconds.
• Using a slotted spoon, ladle the peas onto the tortilla.
• Sprinkle on the spices, cheese, onion, summer sausage chunks. You can use any spice combo you like, as well as any additional veggies or meat. The ingredients are just what I used.
• Keeping tortilla flat, microwave on high for 1 minute.
• Fold the tortilla over and eat with knife and fork. Fold up for a burrito if your peas aren't too juicy.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat sesame oil over high heat and add shrimp when it quivers. Toss for approximately 1 minute, then add garlic, jalapenos, lime juice and soy sauce. Cook just until shrimp are slightly firm, a total of 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon and place in a bowl.
• Heat a medium saute pan over high heat and add tortillas. Do not add any oil. Cook for approximately 5 seconds on both sides. Repeat with the number of tortillas desired for guests.
• Lay out tortillas for assembly on a sheet tray. Begin with spinach to establish a layer between shrimp mixture as it is moist. Next apply black eyed peas, scallions, tomatoes, cilantro and top with cheese. Flash under broiler until cheese is melted. Remove from broiler, fold in half, cut into wedge pieces and arrange on plate. Top with chipotle sauce and scallions.
