Unlike most quesadillas, these are baked, not fried. These are also cut into thirds for appetizers, but if you'd like, leave them whole and have them for a meal! I love crab, and I love cheese. I also tend to like flour tortillas! So this is something that worked out well in my appetizer repertoire! Ingredients:
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
1/2 cup onion, chopped |
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 lb lump crabmeat, drained |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped |
1 teaspoon salt |
16 (8 inch) flour tortillas |
1/2 cup jalapeno jack cheese, shredded (i always tend to add a little more...i love cheese!) |
Directions:
1. Combine butter and oil; set aside.
2. Saute onion, peppers, and garlic in 2 tbsp reserved butter mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until tender. Remove from heat. Gently stir in crabmeat and next 3 ingredients.
3. Place on tortillas on baking sheets; brush 1 side of each tortilla with remaining butter mixture. Turn tortillas over; spread crabmeat mixture evenly over half of each tortilla, and sprinkle with cheese. Fold tortillas in half.
4. Bake at 475 degrees for 4 minutes or until golden. Cut each tortilla into thirds. Serve warm.
