BAKED CRAB QUESADILLAS APPETIZERS



Baked Crab Quesadillas Appetizers image

Unlike most quesadillas, these are baked, not fried. These are also cut into thirds for appetizers, but if you'd like, leave them whole and have them for a meal! I love crab, and I love cheese. I also tend to like flour tortillas! So this is something that worked out well in my appetizer repertoire!
