Nana’s Crab Roll-Ups
Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 cup imitation crab meat, chopped (or real crab meat for a richer flavor)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
- 2 large flour tortillas (or spinach or whole wheat for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard (if using). Mix well until smooth and creamy.
-
Add Crab and Veggies:
- Gently fold in the chopped imitation crab (or real crab), and the green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until all the ingredients are well-combined.
-
Spread the Filling:
- Lay the flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the crab mixture over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
-
Roll the Tortillas:
- Carefully roll each tortilla up tightly, like a burrito, to ensure the filling stays inside. Make sure to roll evenly to avoid gaps.
-
Slice and Serve:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled tortillas into 1-inch slices to create the “roll-ups.” You should get about 6-8 pieces per tortilla.
-
Garnish and Serve:
- Arrange the roll-ups on a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with some chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
These Nana’s Crab Roll-Ups are super easy to make, yet packed with creamy, savory flavor. They’re great for parties, potlucks, or even as a quick snack! Enjoy!
