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:
- 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.
- In a bowl, mix lime juice, zest, jalapeno, green onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add crab, marinate for 10-30 minutes.
- 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.
- Drain liquid from the crab mixture and place it on the tortilla in the pan. Add grated cheese and top with the second tortilla.
- 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.
