Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat with salt and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab too much.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    On one half of each tortilla, evenly distribute the Oaxaca cheese, followed by the seasoned crab meat. Fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the quesadilla and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Cut into wedges and serve with guacamole and chipotle aioli on the side.
