Give me a quesadilla and I’m all in. Melty, cheesy, crispy, what’s not to love? But toss in some lobster? Now we’re showing off.

This lobster quesadilla is buttery, loaded with tender chunks of lobster, and finished with a little kick of spice for balance. Serve it as an appetizer or slice it up as the main event. Either way, everyone’s hovering the second it hits the table.

In a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped lobster meat and cook for 1–2 minutes until warmed through.
Add chopped red bell pepper, red onion, corn, scallions, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the pan. Sauté for 1 minute to soften the vegetables slightly.
Remove from the heat and fold in the sour cream and 1 cup of the shredded cheese.
Scoop the mixture onto one half of each tortilla, leaving a little room at the edges. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top, then fold over to make a half-moon.
Wipe out the skillet if needed, then melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Gently place folded quesadillas in the pan, (2 at a time if they fit).
Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden brown on the bottom. Carefully flip and cook the other side, adding more butter if needed.
Remove from the pan, let cool slightly, then slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Each tortilla can be sliced into 3 large triangles, or cut into 6 smaller bite-sized wedges—perfect for appetizers. A pizza wheel makes slicing super easy.
