These were ok. I just thought they needed more kick. They were a little bland for my taste in Quesedillas. Maybe add some hot pepper sauce or something. . .

    These were a real treat!! and soo delicious! I did have to make a couple of changes, I used plain no fat yoghurt instead of sour cream, a mix of mozzarella and parmesan, had no cilantro so used parsley, and whole wheat tortillas. The fresh lime flavour was perfect with the crab, I did use real crab :yummy:, it allowed the taste of the crab to come through. Just had 6 ounces of crab so I just made 4 quesadillas and cut back the other ingredients accordingly. We would certainly make these again, thanks for sharing a great one!!

    It was so good. We'll do it again. I used cheddar cheese. And omitted the cilantro. Thanks Lorie Made for Zaar Star Game.
