Crab
Quesadillas
A simple Mexican snack food. A basic quesadilla is an
uncooked tortilla folded over with a variety of fillings like cheese or
even meats, beans or potatoes. The folded tortilla is heated on a
hot comal (griddle) or
fried.
Recipe by Chef Joseph
Cacace
I N G R E D I E N T S
8 6-inch flour tortillas
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Filling
12 oz Maine crab or jumbo lump crab meat, picked over
8 oz corn, grilled and sliced off the cob
2 oz poblano chilies, roasted or grilled, peeled and small diced
3 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz Dijon mustard
1 oz Worcestershire Sauce
12 oz Chihuahua, Jack or other melting cheese.
Mango Salsa
1/2 ripe mango, medium dice
Juice of ½ lime
minced red onion
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 Serrano or jalapeno chili, minced
2 sprigs cilantro, chiffonadeI
N S T R U C T I O N S
Combine all the filling
ingredients in a bowl; add salt and pepper to taste. Lay 4 of the 8
tortillas on a flat surface and distribute the filling evenly. Cover
each with another tortilla, forming a sandwich.
To cook the quesadillas
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick sauté pan on medium heat for 2
minutes, or until the oil ‘shimmers’. Place a quesadilla gently into the
pan. When it has browned on one side, gently flip with a spatula. By the
time the other side is brown, the quesadilla will be heated through and
the cheese will have begun to melt around the edges.
Repeat for all 4 quesadillas.
Mango Salsa
Mix all the ingredients together and add salt and pepper to taste. Cut
each quesadilla into quarters, garnish with the salsa and serve. |
