Place a filled tortilla on the pan and cook the tortilla for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is completely melted.

Step 7:

Remove from the pan and repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Allow each to cool for a few minutes before cutting into 3-4 pieces. Serve with sour cream, guacamole and tomatoes or salsa, as desired.

 

Additional Note:

If you can’t find lobster meat, whole live lobsters can be used for this recipe, just follow these steaming instructions, then breakdown the lobster and pick up at step one.
