Baked Crab Quesadillas Appetizers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb lump crabmeat, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
16 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup jalapeno jack cheese, shredded (I always tend to add a little more...I love cheese!)

Preparation

Combine butter and oil; set aside.
Saute onion, peppers, and garlic in 2 tbsp reserved butter mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until tender. Remove from heat. Gently stir in crabmeat and next 3 ingredients.
Place on tortillas on baking sheets; brush 1 side of each tortilla with remaining butter mixture. Turn tortillas over; spread crabmeat mixture evenly over half of each tortilla, and sprinkle with cheese. Fold tortillas in half.
Bake at 475 degrees for 4 minutes or until golden. Cut each tortilla into thirds. Serve warm.
