Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crabmeat, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped red bell pepper, green onions, and fresh cilantro.
-
Sprinkle in the ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture carefully to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly brush one side of a flour tortilla with olive oil. Place the tortilla in the skillet, oiled side down.
-
Spoon a generous amount of the crabmeat and cheese mixture onto half of the tortilla, then fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Press down gently with a spatula.
-
Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and crabmeat mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
-
Once cooked, transfer the Crabmeat Quesadillas to a cutting board and let them rest for a minute before slicing into triangles or wedges.
-
Serve the quesadillas warm, accompanied by sour cream, salsa, avocado slices, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
