Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ lb cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- ½ lb cooked crab meat, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup prepared queso blanco (or any white queso dip)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro (plus more for garnish)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or butter for greasing
Instructions
- Whip Up the Fiesta Filling: In a large bowl, combine chopped shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, Monterey Jack, queso, garlic powder, onion powder, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll It Up Tight: Spoon filling down the center of each tortilla, then roll tightly like enchiladas.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and place the rolls seam-side down. Top with extra queso and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Broil for That Crusty Top: Optional but recommended: broil the rolls for 2–3 minutes to crisp up the cheese.
- Garnish & Serve: Finish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with extra queso for dipping.
Notes
- Optional broiling step adds extra crispiness.
- Great for parties or weeknight dinners.
