Description

Irresistible crab shrimp queso rolls filled with seafood and gooey cheese, perfect for gatherings.


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 (mild or spicy)
  • 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. Combine the finely chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, and Monterey Jack cheese in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add softened cream cheese and queso dip to the bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Stir in chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika for an added kick.
  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 as you go.
  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.

Notes

Experiment with different cheeses or add diced jalapeños for extra heat. Serve with salsa or guacamole.
