Ingredients
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 1/2 lime
minced red onion
1
tbsp
honey
1/2
Serrano
or jalapeno chili, minced
2
sprigs
cilantro, chiffonade
Instructions
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.
