Greek yogurt provides creaminess with less fat.

avocado

Mashed peas can mimic the creaminess of avocado.

Place shrimp in a bowl to marinate with 1 tbsp of lime juice, 1/4 tsp of ground pepper, and salt to taste.

In a skillet over medium heat, preheat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil for about 2 minutes.

When the pan is hot, add the shrimp and cook for approximately 2 minutes, being careful not to overcook them.

In another pan over medium heat, warm up the flour tortillas.

Add 1/4 cup of shredded Chihuahua cheese to one tortilla and fold it.

Wait for the cheese to melt, then turn the quesadilla over for even browning.

Remove the shrimp from the skillet and add 1/4 of the shrimp to the quesadilla, topping it with more cheese.

Enjoy the quesadilla, noting that the shrimp and cheese make a great combination.
