1/2 pound chorizo sausage, sliced thin on an angle
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
1 clove garlic, cracked away from skin and crushed
12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed, ask for easy-peels
at fish counter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (12- inch) flour tortillas
1/2 pound, 2 cups, shredded pepper Jack cheese
Cut avocados all the way around with a sharp knife. Scoop out the pit,

Transfer shrimp to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and a large tortilla. Cook tortilla 30
seconds, then turn. Cover 1/2 of the tortilla with a
couple of handfuls of cheese. Arrange a layer of chorizo and shrimp over
the cheese and fold tortilla over.
Press down gently with a spatula and cook tortilla a minute or so on
each side to melt cheese and crisp.
Remove quesadilla to large cutting board and repeat with remaining
ingredients.
