Description

These crab shrimp queso rolls showcase a delightful combination of shrimp, crab, and gooey melted cheese wrapped in crispy tortillas, perfect for any gathering.


Ingredients

  • 0.5 lb cooked shrimp, finely chopped
  • 0.5 lb cooked crab meat, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup queso dip
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp smoked paprika
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil for frying


Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, and Monterey Jack cheese.
  2. Add softened cream cheese and queso dip. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Stir in chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  4. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Warm one tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  6. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto the center of the tortilla and roll it tightly, tucking in the sides.
  7. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the skillet. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  8. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
