Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups (packed) grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 6 ounces)
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
8 ounces crabmeat, drained
1 cup chopped seeded plum tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeño chili
8 7- to 8-inch flour tortillas
5 tablespoons (about) vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mix first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season cheese mixture to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  • Mix crabmeat, tomatoes, green onions and chili in large bowl. Spread cheese mixture over half of each tortilla. Spoon crabmeat mixture atop cheese mixture, dividing equally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half. Press gently to seal.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium heat. Working in batches, cook quesadillas in skillets until cheese melts and tortillas are golden brown, adding more oil as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve.

I'm not a huge fan of crab, but I really enjoyed these quesadillas. The tomato salsa was the perfect complement to the crab, and the cheese melted perfectly.

These quesadillas are a great way to change up your usual taco night routine. They're also a great way to use up leftover crab meat.

These quesadillas were a little bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

I added some chopped avocado to my quesadillas, and it was delicious! I would definitely recommend trying this variation.

I had a hard time finding crab meat at my local grocery store, so I used imitation crab meat instead. The quesadillas still turned out great!

These quesadillas were a little bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with a milder salsa next time.
