Crab Quesadillas
Ingredients
Pickled jalapeños are easily replaced by fresh or canned if you have trouble finding what the recipe calls for. These creamy crab-filled appetizers are delicious and decadent all at the same time, and a great way to scratch an itch for cheesy goodness without sacrificing good nutrition.
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
2 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
4 scallions, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp. chopped pickled jalapeños
1 tsp. orange zest
1 Tbsp. orange juice
8 oz. crabmeat, drained
4 (8") whole-wheat tortillas
2 tsp. canola oil, divided
