Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling

  • 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

For the Tortillas

  • 8 small flour tortillas

For Frying

  • 2 tbsp butter or oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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 to hold the filling inside during cooking.
  3. Heat the skillet: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil over medium heat until hot and shimmering.
  4. Fry until crispy: Carefully place the filled tortillas seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, turning gently, until each side is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve with flair: Remove toothpicks and plate your Crab Shrimp Queso Rolls. For extra indulgence, drizzle warm queso dip over the top and sprinkle with fresh cilantro garnish before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, serve with a side of salsa.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
