I received this recipe from an old friend for the family many years ago, and my family still loves it today. The crab makes it a wonderful change of pace from other weeknight fare. —Donna Roberts of Shumway, Illinois

I have made this using all imitation crab and imitation crab and shrimp combo. Both were delicious. My husband declared both a definite keeper. I am going to make it this weekend using chicken since my daughter will be visiting and she is allergic to seafood.

My family just didn't think this recipe had any flavor, just too bland. One of the first TOH recipes I won't repeat.

Thank you, Donna, for sharing such a delicious and easy-to-make recipe! My husband and I just loved it and I plan to make it again this week! The best part about it is that it tastes delicious and it's lower fat than most. Definitely recommend this winner!

Will definitely try this one.

One difference will be using low carb tortillas instead of the flour tortillas.
