:) Unfortunately, no great story behind this one. Most of the time I throw stuff together because I can be a bit lazy when it means going to the grocer. Fresh crab is better, but this is what I had to work with.

How To Make crab rollups

  • 1
    Combine first 8 ingredients and set aside. Spread cream cheese on tortilla then spoon crab mixture in center and roll up, making sure you keep it tight as possible without tearing. Slice off both ends of the tortilla, and then cut in 1-1/2 inch sections and place on a plate to serve.

    Just a note: You cannot buy "Shay's Pickle Relish". My niece cans her own and I raid her pantry when I am out. Any sweet relish or dill would work fine.
