Ingredients

  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 pound cooked and shredded crab meat
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded crab meat, cheddar cheese, red bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spread a generous amount of the crab and cheese mixture over half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the filled tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, adding more butter as needed.
  4. Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
  5. Serve the crispy crustacean quesadillas hot, with your favorite salsa or sour cream on the side.
