Crab And Avocado Quesadilla Recipes

Steps:

• If you're cooking this in panni press or toaster oven, put the ingredients on one half of the tortilla. If you're using a microwave or oven, spread them out over the whole tortilla.
• Sprinkle the cheese on the tortilla.
• Put the crab on.
• Put the avocado slices on.
• Snip small circles of the green part of the green onion onto the tortilla.
• Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Put on a dash of nutmeg or chilli powder, if you like.

Steps:

• SALSA: Combine all of the salsa ingredients and let stand at least 1 hour at room temperature so the flavors can develop. Chill until ready to serve. QUESADILLAS: In a large bowl, gently mix the crab, cheese, avocados, scallion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Spread the crab mixture onto 6 of the tortillas and top with the other tortillas. To cook, heat a little oil in a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and cook the quesadillas in batches until lightly browned and the cheese is melting, about 2 minutes per side. Serve warm with a bit of salsa on top.

Steps:

• Pit and peel the avocado and cut it into 1/2-inch chunks. In a small bowl toss the avocado chunks gently with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and season with salt to taste. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, pinch of white pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add crabmeat and toss.
• Stand an empty 15-ounce can with both top and bottom removed on a serving plate. Scoop a quarter of the avocado into the can. Place 1/4 of the crabmeat on top and press down gently into the mold. Gently pull the can off the avocado and crab mixture. Garnish with a half teaspoon of chives. Repeat with the remaining 3 servings and serve.
