Instructions
Step 1
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, shredded crab meat, Monterey Jack cheese, softened cream cheese, queso dip, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 2
2. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide the seafood mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing the filling in a line across the center of each tortilla.
Step 3
3. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from bottom to top, creating a compact roll. Place seam-side down on a plate.
Step 4
4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Once hot, carefully place the rolls seam-side down in the skillet, working in batches if necessary.
Step 5
5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to gently turn the rolls to ensure even browning on all sides.
Step 6
6. Remove the rolls from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Chef's Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to create a smooth, cohesive filling that's easy to spread.
Don't overfill the tortillas, as this can cause them to burst during cooking. A scant 1/4 cup of filling per tortilla is ideal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these rolls hot with additional queso dip, salsa, or a creamy avocado sauce on the side. They're perfect for game day gatherings, cocktail parties, or as a special appetizer before a seafood dinner.
