Shrimp Quesadillas

1# Shrimp, I used small salad shrimp
2 Green Onions, sliced thin
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1/2 C. Shredded Mexican Cheese mix
1/4 C. Black Beans, washed and drained well
1/4 C. Pinto Beans, washed and drained well
2 Tbsp. Cilantro, fine chopped
Cumin, Chili powder, Oregano, Paprika - To Taste
Salt and Pepper, to taste
optional 1 Serrano Chili, minced
Flour tortillas
Vegetable Oil
Salsa

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl combine first seven (7) ingredients.  Season to taste with spices, salt and pepper.  Set aside.
In a large saute pan heat 2-3 Tbsp. oil over med-high heat.
On cutting board, lay one tortilla and place some of shrimp mixture over the top, spread to the edges and cover with another tortilla.
Once oil is shimmering, use a spatula and carefully place quesadilla in pan.  Cook for 2-3 minutes or until tortilla is golden brown.  Again, using a spatula flip the quesadilla and cook other side.  Once done transfer to baking sheet.
Repeat process, you will need to add additional oil to pan, until you have made desired amount of quesadillas.
Place sheet with quesadillas in oven and cook for 7-8 minutes.
Serve with salsa.
