Seafood Filling
- 1 cup cooked mixed seafood (shrimp, crab, scallops), chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Tortillas
- 6 small flour tortillas
- Butter or cooking spray, for greasing
- Prepare the Seafood Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cooked seafood with mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy seafood mixture.
- Assemble the Bombs: Lay out each tortilla on a clean surface. Evenly distribute the seafood mixture onto the center of each tortilla, then top with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Wrap the Tortillas: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly to form a sealed ‘bomb’ shape. Optionally, secure with toothpicks.
- Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or cooking spray, then place the wrapped tortillas seam side down on the sheet.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the tortilla bombs for 15-20 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use any cooked seafood you prefer or have on hand, such as shrimp, crab, or scallops.
- For extra crispiness, brush the tortillas with melted butter before baking.
- Serve with a side of salsa, sour cream, or a spicy aioli for dipping.
- To make ahead, assemble the bombs and keep refrigerated, then bake just before serving.
