cheese

prawns

sour cream
🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

olive oil
🥗Healthier: avocado oil
💰Cheaper: vegetable oil
Vegetable oil is a cost-effective alternative for cooking.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and bell peppers; sauté until softened, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add prawns; cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the mixture from heat and stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Place a tortilla in the skillet over medium heat; sprinkle cheese on one half.
Add the prawn mixture on top of the cheese, then fold the tortilla over.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and the cheese melts.
Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden on the other side.
Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
