Crab Dip and Blackened Chicken Quesadillas Recipes

If you’re looking to make a quick and delicious lunch recipe, or a starter for dinner menu, try these quesadillas. They have my crabmeat dip, blackened chicken and cheese filling. Oh boy, let me tell you, these are good!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes
Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE CRAB DIP:
8 Oz. block of cream cheese, softened
4 Oz. sour cream
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise (I like Duke’s)
1 tsp. ground mustard seed
2 tsp. hot sauce, or to taste
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 ½ Tbsp. lemon juice
4 Oz. butter, melted
3 Tbsp. garlic powder, or to taste
6 Oz. lump crab meat, drained

1 cup grated yellow and white cheese curds
4 ten-inch flour tortillas
1 cup Blackened chicken, diced, divided
4 Oz. grated cheddar, divided
2 Oz. grated parmesan, divided
2 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning, divided

METHOD:
Preheat your pellet smoker with a pizza insert.
Or use a flat-top griddle or cast iron skillet. It should be medium-high temperature. If the griddle is too hot, it will burn the bread before the cheese gets melted
If you’re using a pellet smoker with a pizza insert, the pizza stone should be at about 570 degrees F.
Mix the ingredients for the crab dip, in the order that they are listed, except for the crab meat
Be sure the cream cheese is soft and mix all the ingredients until they are smooth.
Then mix in the lump crab meat.

Place the tortilla on a small pizza dish or a flat 12-inch plate. That’s to make it easy to slide on and off the griddle or pizza stone.
Brush the tortillas with melted butter, on one side.
Then flip them over.
Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the crab dip on the tortillas.
Sprinkle 1 tsp. of Old Bay Seasoning over the crab dip.
Generously sprinkle the grated cheese curds, to your taste, over the chicken.
Sprinkle 2 Oz. of grated cheddar and then 2 Oz of grated parmesan over the chicken.
Place the other tortillas over the ones that you built.
Spread melted butter over the top of the tortillas.
If you’re using the pellet smoker, poke a few holes on the top of the tortilla, with the point of a sharp knife. This will keep the tortilla from inflating with air pockets when you put it in the high heat.
Place a quesadilla on the griddle or on the pizza stone.
If you’re using a flat top griddle or a cast iron skillet, cover it with a “dome” or lid.
After 2 ½ minutes, turn the quesadillas over and cook for another 2 ½ minutes.
Remove from the heat. Let them cool for a minute.
Then use a knife to cut the quesadillas in eighths.
Serve immediately.
