Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup each chopped green pepper, onion and green onions
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 pound process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon each cayenne pepper, pepper and Cajun seasoning
  • 2 pounds crawfish tails, cooked and peeled
  • Oil for frying
  • 10 flour tortillas (8 inches)

Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, parsley, pepper sauce and seasonings. Cook until slightly thickened. Add crawfish. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
