INSTRUCTIONS
Crab Quesadillas
4 flour tortillas
1 Tbs (15 ml) soft butter or margarine
1 cup (250 ml) shredded queso fresco, Monterey jack, or mild flavored, semi-soft
cheese.
1-6 oz (170 g) can crab meat, drained and picked over
Hot sauce (optional)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Grease a large baking sheet with the butter or margarine. Rub the tortillas on
the greased surface so as to lightly grease one side of each tortilla. With the
tortillas greased side down on the baking sheet, place one quarter of the
shredded cheese on one half of each tortilla. Top this with the crab, a dash or
two of the optional hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Fold each tortilla
over and bake in a 350F (180C) oven for about 5 minutes, until the bottom is
golden brown. Flip the quesadillas over and cook an additional 5 minutes, or
until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cut into wedges
and serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer.
