1 tortilla 

1 tbsp vegetable oil

12 shrimp

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp fajita seasoning

1/4 cup onion

1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Directions: 

Warm your oil in a pan. Dice your onion and add it to the oil, cook until translucent. Add your shrimp, cumin, and fajita seasoning. Cook until pink. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside. Place tortilla in remaining oil in pan. When you see bubles begin to form, flip it over. Then add your cheese, shrimp, and cilantro. Cook until cheese is melted. Cut into triangles and serve.
