We really loved the flavor of this. I wonder if it would be better to use the crunchy type tortilla chips instead of the corn tortillas because they were hard to eat. And I agree with the others about putting the cheese on top in the last 10-15 minutes of cooking time. Besides those things, it was wonderful and I will definitely be making this again!!!

This was so incredibly, awesomely, freaking good! Because I wanted leftovers I upped the amounts a bit and used half shrimp with the "crab" chunks. I used 12 tortillas, 3 eggs, and 1/2 cup sherry instead of extra cream (just because I love sherry with seafood!) I also used quite a bit more cilantro than called for because we LOVE its flavor. I'm laying claim to the leftovers for my lunches this week and this is going into the folder I use for dishes I want to make on a regular basis. Thank you so much for posting this terrific and easy dish!

YUMMY! Rich and creamy! I used 16 oz of imitation crab. I added the cheese on top during the last 15 minutes, because I didn't want it to get too brown. The bottom toretillas were moist and soft and the top ones baked up nice and crunchy. Thanx for sharing this. It's a great way to use imitation crab.
