Grilling a quesadilla is a great way to add an extra layer of flavor, but this recipe can totally be made in a regular pan as well. Make sure to dip into some Kikkoman® Sriracha Mayo in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons kikkoman® teriyaki marinade & sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger, roughly chopped
- 2 scallions, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon kikkoman® sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- for the quesadillas:
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup kikkoman® sriracha mayo
- 6 persian cucumbers, smashed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons kikkoman® teriyaki marinade & sauce
- 1 tablespoon kikkoman® rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon kikkoman® sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon kikkoman® kotteri mirin
Directions
- Prepare the filling: In a food processor, combine the shrimp, ground pork, Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce, garlic, ginger, scallions, and sesame oil. Pulse until combined, not fully smooth so that you still have small chunks of shrimp.
- Assemble and grill the quesadillas: Spread a thin layer of the shrimp and pork filling on one tortilla. Sprinkle it with shredded cheese. Top with another tortilla to form a sandwich. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the tortilla sandwich in the pan and cook for around 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature is 145°F and the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Prepare the cucumber salad: In a bowl, combine the cucumber slices with Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Toss until well coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- To serve: Slice the quesadillas into wedges and drizzle with Kikkoman® Sriracha Mayo or your homemade version. Serve with the fresh cucumber salad on the side.
