Crab Fajita Quesadillas
With no plans for dinner and a package of surimi in my fridge that needed to be used up, I made this up using the ingredients I had on hand. It turned out pretty tasty! It think I'll scramble the rest of the filling with some eggs for breakfast burritos tomorrow. Next time I make it, I'll make sure I have some cilantro on hand to use in place of the basil, and I'll definitely add avocado!
