Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced poblano and onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed poblano and onion, lump crab meat, fire roasted corn, and cheddar jack cheese. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat.

  3. 3

    Assemble Quesadillas

    Place a tortilla in a large skillet over medium heat. Spread a portion of the crab mixture evenly over half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to cover the filling. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip and Cook

    Carefully flip the quesadilla and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the second side is golden and the cheese is melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve with southwest ranch dressing on the side.
