Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ red bell pepper, diced
4 green onions, sliced thin
1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 ounces cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
8 ounces crumbled queso fresco cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bell pepper and green onions; season with fajita seasoning and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until the bell pepper is nearly tender, about 4 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and cook a few more minutes until hot and set aside.
  • Place the tortillas onto your work surface; divide about half of the queso fresco onto one side of each tortilla. Evenly divide the crawfish mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Fold the tortillas over the filling, pressing down lightly.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place two of the quesadillas into the skillet, and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil, and quesadillas. Cut into wedges to serve.

These quesadillas were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I'm allergic to crawfish, so I used shrimp instead. The quesadillas were still delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quesadillas were a disaster. The filling was runny and the tortillas were soggy.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I will definitely be making them again, but I will use less cayenne pepper next time.

These quesadillas were a disappointment. The filling was bland and the quesadillas were not crispy at all.
