Preheat oven to 375
degrees F. You may wish to substitute shrimp, crab or even chicken if
crawfish is unavailable in your area. In a large cast iron skillet, melt
butter over medium-high heat. Add green onions, garlic and mushrooms.
Sauté 3-5 minutes or until mushrooms are wilted. Add crawfish, thyme,
cilantro, tomatoes and bell peppers. Continue to sauté until juices are
rendered and liquids have almost completely evaporated, approximately 10
minutes. Season to taste using Creole seasoning, salt, pepper and hot
sauce. Place the tortilla shells on a large cookie sheet and sprinkle
with a small amount of Monterey Jack cheese. Top with a portion of the
crawfish stuffing and more of the Monterey Jack cheese. Fold each
tortilla in half and bake 7-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and
tortillas are slightly crisp but not over-browned.
Note
The quesadillas may be pan sautéed in a hot skillet that has been
sprayed with a small amount of vegetable spray. Be careful not to
over-brown.
