1. Prepare the Shrimp:
– In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the shrimp evenly.
2. Cook the Shrimp:

3. Sauté the Vegetables:
– In the same skillet, add the diced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
4. Assemble the Quesadillas:
– Lay one tortilla in the skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on one half of the tortilla.
– Add a portion of the cooked shrimp and sautéed vegetables on top of the cheese.
– Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the shrimp and fold the tortilla in half.
5. Cook the Quesadillas:
– Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Serve:
– Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and cut them into wedges. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve with sour cream and salsa.
