Season the shrimp and let it marinate for 20-30 minutes.

Marinate the chicken thighs with seasonings for 20-30 minutes.

Heat a pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil to cook the shrimp for 3 minutes, flipping halfway.

Remove the shrimp from the pan.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of oil to the pan and cook the chicken for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the pan and sauté the vegetables (corn, mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes) with 2 teaspoons of oil and 0.5 teaspoons of salt for about 5 minutes.

In the same pan, add a flour tortilla, sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese, then add the shrimp and vegetables, and more cheese on top.

Fold the tortilla and cook until golden brown and cheese is melted, flipping to cook both sides.

Repeat the process with additional tortillas and filling.
