Spinach Crawfish/Shrimp Quesadillas
2 large flour tortillas (or any flavor I used sun dried tomato and spinach)
1/2 lb crawfish or shrimp (pre cooked) (I used frozen crawfish, but I live in Louisiana)
(If using fresh seafood I would saute with garlic and onion and then add all those ingredients in)
Fresh Spinach Leaves
Sea Salt
Cracked Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes
Mozzarella or Italian Blend Shredded Cheese (as much or as little as you want!)
Feta Cheese
Pre heat on medium a large pan that will hold the large tortilla and spray with either olive oil cooking spray or coat with a thin layer of olive oil. Place your "base" tortilla down and add a layer of shredded mozzarella. Add crawfish or shrimp until you have a pretty good layer but it's not a mound. Add Spinach leaves, and season as much or as little as you would like. I put salt, pepper and red pepper flakes (sorry I don't have an exact measurement but season to your taste). Add another layer of shredded cheese and sprinkle on the feta (feta is optional I just like the flavor). Add the top tortilla and press with a spatula. FLIP! Then continue cooking until all the cheese is melted and the seafood is warmed through. Be careful to watch your temp and not burn the tortillas. Remove from the pan and cut into pieces (I used four for Dave and I and up to eight for appetizers).
I put sour cream and salsa on the side for toppings and it was hit.
I've switched it up as well using left over chicken breasts, stronger cheeses like sharp chedder and Monterey jack, salsa for seasoning and salt and pepper. I've also just used spinach and feta for a meatless version. It really was the fastest thing to make and everyone really enjoyed it.
If you have questions please let me know, I know this isn't an exact recipe but it's great for a fast meal and relatively healthy (if you use low fat cheeses!)
