Quesadillas were great! I used a store-bought tomatillo salsa and it still turned out great.

The shrimp and tomatillo quesadillas were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These quesadillas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll drain the shrimp more thoroughly next time.

Quesadillas were okay. The filling was a bit bland and the tortillas were a bit too thick.
