- Stir in the prawns, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the prawns turn pink and are fully cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the prawn mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, place a tortilla and sprinkle half of it with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add a portion of the prawn mixture on top of the cheese, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape, pressing down gently.

- Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side.
