INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 C. (6 oz.) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 oz. cream cheese
  • 1/4 C. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 4 (7 to 8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 8 oz. canned crab meat
  • 1/2 C. chopped green onions
  • 1 (4 oz.) can diced green chilies
  • 6 Tbsp. Crisco® Pure Canola Oil
  • REMOULADE SAUCE
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 C. chopped onion
  • 1/2 C. chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. horseradish
  • 3 Tbsp. Creole-style mustard
  • 2 Tbsp. ketchup
  • 2 Tbsp. Italian parsley leaves
  • 1/2 C. mayonnaise
  • 1/4 C. Crisco® Pure Canola Oil
  • 1/8 tsp. Spice Islands® Cayenne Pepper
  • Freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. COMBINE cheese, cream cheese, cilantro and lemon peel in small bowl; mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Spread over half of each tortilla, dividing equally.
  2. COMBINE crabmeat, green onions and diced green chiles in medium bowl. Spoon over cheese mixture, dividing equally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half. Press gently to seal.
  3. HEAT 1 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook quesadillas until cheese melts and tortillas are golden brown, adding more oil as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Cut into wedges; serve with Remoulade Sauce for dipping.
  4. COMBINE lemon juice, onion, celery, garlic, horseradish, mustard, ketchup, parsley and mayonnaise in a food processor; blend. Slowly blend in oil. Season with cayenne and black pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
