My beaux and I loved this recipe. It wasnt difficult and proved very tasty. I used flour tortillas and they fell apart but the taste was still awesome, just made it harder to get them out of the pan. I used about 1/3 imitation crab and 2/3 real crab and preferred the taste, it lightened it up as its very rich. Was even better the next day for lunch! Enjoy!

Pretty good. I enjoyed the filling. I used a combination of small diced shrimp and immitation crab meat in mine. Fun to make.
