Delicious Crab Shrimp Queso Rolls for Your Next Feast
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 pieces small flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter or oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Combine the filling. In a large mixing bowl, blend together the finely chopped shrimp, shredded crab, Monterey Jack cheese, softened cream cheese, queso dip, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well mixed.
- Fill the tortillas. Take each small flour tortilla and place about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling in the center. Roll them tightly, then secure with a toothpick.
- Heat the skillet. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil over medium heat. Once it’s hot, carefully place the filled tortillas in the skillet.
- Fry until crispy. Cook the tortillas for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn a lovely golden brown.
- Serve with flair. Remove toothpicks and plate your Crab Shrimp Queso Rolls. Drizzle warm queso over the top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
