Description
These crispy crab shrimp queso rolls are packed with creamy seafood filling and melted cheese, making them a flavorful appetizer or party snack. Golden fried tortillas add the perfect crunchy finish.
Ingredients
- 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
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter or oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, Monterey Jack cheese, softened cream cheese, queso dip, cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until evenly combined.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near one edge of a tortilla. Roll tightly while folding in the sides to seal. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolls seam-side down and fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked rolls to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with extra queso dip or salsa if desired.
Notes
- Use spicy queso dip for extra heat and flavor.
- Air fry at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes for a lighter version.
- Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
