While this Cajun lady was living in Corpus Christi, Texas I was challenged to cook up a mexican dish with crawfish for a pot luck dinner. This is it;everyone thought it was a winner.
Editor's note - Shrimp could be used instead of crawfish. |

| Ingredients |
| 1/2 cup butter |
2 cups chopped onion |
| 1 cup chopped bell pepper |
16 ounces cream cheese |
| 1½ tsp oregano leaves |
1 tsp ground cumin |
| 4 tsp Old Bay Seafood seasoning |
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley |
| 3 tsp Konriko Creole Seasoning or |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
| 1/2 cup butter |
4 pounds crawfish tails, deveined |
| 2 tsp Old Bay seafood seasoning |
2 tsp garlic powder or minced garlic |

1 cup heavy whipping cream |
| 16 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese or Mexican Mix cheese |

| Directions |
Preheat oven 350 degrees. In a 3-quart pot over medium high heat, melt 1/2-cup butter. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook an additional 5 minutes. Add cream cheese, oregano, cumin, 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seafood seasoning, Konriko Creole Seasoning, and parsley. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Add 1 cup whipping cream and cook 5 minutes. Set aside.
In a large skillet over low-medium heat (too high heat will cause crawfish to become rubbery or hard), combine remaining ½-cup of butter and crawfish. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons Old Bay Seafood seasoning, garlic powder and green onion. Cook an additional 2 minutes. (Drain, keeping liquid and set aside) Add to cream mixture and mix well. Spoon a portion of mixture in the center of each warm tortilla. Fold the tortilla in thirds and place seam side down in casserole dish.
Mix liquid from crawfish with 1 cup whipping cream and cook for 3 minutes. Add remaining mixture of crawfish and stir. Spoon mixture over the tortilla and top with cheese. Bake at 325 for 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs if desired.
