BBQ Shrimp Quesadillas

8 ounces cooked shrimp, diced

1 orange bell pepper, roasted or grilled and finely diced

cup fresh or frozen corn kernels, thawed

½ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons all-natural barbecue sauce

4 flour tortillas, 10-inch size

2 teaspoons canola oil

Combine the shrimp, bell pepper, corn kernels, cheese, and barbecue sauce in a bowl. Divide the mixture evenly and spread over half of each tortilla. Fold over, press down gently, and set aside.

Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add two of the quesadillas and cook until the tortillas become crisp and golden on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip the tortillas and cook an additional 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining oil and quesadillas.

Cut into quarters and serve.

Serves four.
