Equipment

  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • ½ cup lump crab meat
  • 1 tsp jalapeño finely diced
  • 1 tsp red onion finely diced
  • 2 tsp cilantro
  • Juice from ½ a lime
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • 2 fresh corn tortillas
  • Jack cheese shredded

Serving:

  • Guacamole
  • Salsa verde
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

  • Side Note: If using par-cooked tortillas, cook them in a hot skillet for 60 seconds per side before preparing your quesadilla.
  • Combine the crab meat, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper in a bowl and gently mix.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place a corn tortilla in the skillet, top with a bit of cheese, then add the crab mixture, followed by a little more shredded cheese.
  • Top with a second tortilla and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before slicing.
  • Serve immediately with guacamole, salsa verde, and hot sauce. Enjoy.
