Crab Quesadillas – Quesadillas de Cangrejo are a truly delightfully simple main dish. They are full of flavour, aroma and look amazing. I make my own tortillas now that are far tastier than shop brought. The crab filling is so easy to prepare but so tasty. When most people are used to a boring cheese sandwich, you hit them with one of these for an instant BAM!! I use Monterey Jack cheese in this recipe for its but you can always use a mild cheddar. As you will imagine these must be served warm. Then again it is amazing how quickly the family run when I’m baking these.
