Ingredients
- 8 oz Lump crab meat
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 4 Whole-wheat tortillas (6-inch)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, reduced-fat shredded Mexican cheese, fresh cilantro, green onions, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently toss everything together to evenly combine.
Step 2
Lay out the whole-wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the crab mixture evenly among 2 tortillas, spreading it out to cover half of each tortilla.
Step 3
Fold each tortilla in half to create a semi-circle, pressing down gently to seal the filling inside.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 5
Place the quesadillas on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Step 6
Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool for 1-2 minutes to set.
Step 7
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve immediately. Garnish with additional cilantro or a lime wedge if desired.
