Ingredients
2 tsp canola oil
450 g frozen raw shrimp, thawed and peeled
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 tsp hot-red-chili-flakes
2 nectarines, unpeeled, cut into thin wedges
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp lime juice
4 10-in. tortillas

Instructions
HEAT a large non-stick pan over medium-high. Add 1 tsp oil, then shrimp. Cook until shrimp turns pink, about 1 min per side. Transfer to a medium bowl.
ADD remaining 1 tsp oil to same pan. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is soft, about 2 min. Add red pepper and chili flakes. Cook until peppers are tender-crisp, 1 to 2 min. Transfer mixture to bowl with shrimp and stir in nectarines, cilantro and lime juice.
WIPE pan clean and return to stovetop. Lay a tortilla in frying pan. Scatter a quarter of each shrimp mixture and cheese over half a tortilla. Fold tortilla to enclose filling. Cook until underside is golden, about 2 min. Then flip and continue until other side is golden, about 2 more min. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
