How to Make 3 Cheese Crab Quesadillas
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, Monterey Jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, cocktail sauce, green onions, and minced garlic.
- Gently mix until well combined.
- Divide the crab mixture evenly between two tortillas, spreading it across the surface.
- Sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the crab mixture on both tortillas.
- Top each with a remaining tortilla to create two quesadillas.
- Heat the melted butter in a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place one quesadilla in the hot skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Repeat with the second quesadilla.
- Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.
- Cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges.
- Serve immediately with extra cocktail sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
