Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add cooked shrimp, drained crab meat, cooled onion and garlic mixture, chopped parsley, fresh lemon juice, smoked paprika, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes
Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Ensure the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the seafood is evenly distributed

Lay one flour tortilla flat and spoon about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the filling onto the center
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling
Brush the tops and sides of each tortilla bomb with melted butter
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown and crispy, and the filling is hot
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving
