Ingredients:

  • 1/4 pound king crab meat (thawed)
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • Handful of cilantro, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon toasted and ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for grilling
  • 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:

  1. Cook the king crab in boiling water for 3 minutes. Rinse in cold water to halt cooking, then shell and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a bowl, mix lime juice, zest, jalapeno, green onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add crab, marinate for 10-30 minutes.
  3. Melt butter or heat oil in a pan. Coat one tortilla in the butter, heat until air pockets form, flipping a few times. Repeat for the second tortilla, leaving it in the pan.
  4. Drain liquid from the crab mixture and place it on the tortilla in the pan. Add grated cheese and top with the second tortilla.
  5. Cook until golden brown on both sides, and the cheese is melted, flipping once.

Pro Tip: Place a plate onto the quesadilla, flip it from the pan to the plate, then slide it back into the pan for a flawless flip.
