Directions
Preheat oven to 450F.
In a skillet heat the oil on medium heat and add the peppers, onion, and garlic, and cook for 5 to 10 minutes until translucent. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crabmeat, cilantro, mayonnaise, cayenne pepper, cumin, 1 cup each of the cheeses, jalapeno pepper, and lime juice.
Fold ingredients gently, so as to avoid breaking crab meat.
Place six tortillas on a large baking sheet.
Equally divide pepper, onion, and garlic mixture on each tortilla.
Equally divide crabmeat mixture on the tortillas.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of crab mixture. Cover each of the tortillas with those in package.
Lightly spray top of each tortilla with cooking spray.
Bake in oven for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and quarter each tortilla.
Garnish with lime slice and serve salsa, sour cream, and guacamole as accompaniments.
