Description
A creamy, cheesy seafood snack perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 1/2 lb cooked crab meat, shredded
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup queso dip (mild or spicy)
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter or oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, Monterey Jack cheese, softened cream cheese, queso dip, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until all ingredients blend perfectly.
- Take each flour tortilla and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the creamy filling in the center. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick.
- In a skillet heated over medium heat, add the butter or oil. Once hot, carefully place the rolled tortillas into the skillet, frying each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the toothpicks from the tortillas. Plate the crispy rolls and drizzle warm queso over the top. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
For a spicier kick, consider using spicier queso dip or adding jalapeños to the filling.
