Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ red bell pepper, diced
4 green onions, sliced thin
1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
12 ounces cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
8 ounces crumbled queso fresco cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the bell pepper and green onions; season with fajita seasoning and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until the bell pepper is nearly tender, about 4 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and cook a few more minutes until hot and set aside.
  • Place the tortillas onto your work surface; divide about half of the queso fresco onto one side of each tortilla. Evenly divide the crawfish mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Fold the tortillas over the filling, pressing down lightly.
  • Melt 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place two of the quesadillas into the skillet, and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil, and quesadillas. Cut into wedges to serve.

I've never made quesadillas before, but these were so easy to make and they turned out great! The crawfish were cooked perfectly and the overall flavor was delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

Overall, I thought these quesadillas were pretty good. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. However, I found the crawfish to be a bit dry. I think next time I would try using a different type of seafood, such as shrimp or crab.

These quesadillas were a bit of a disappointment. The crawfish were tough and chewy, and the overall flavor was bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

Overall, I thought these quesadillas were good, but not great. I found the flavor to be a bit bland, and the crawfish were a bit overcooked. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These quesadillas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think next time I will use less cayenne pepper.
