Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1/4 cup diced onions
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup peeled and diced avocado
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
Pinch of ground cumin
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
4 med flour tortillas, about 9 inch in diameter
4 tsp diced green chiles
1/2 cup chopped crabmeat (canned is fine)
4 Tbsp shredded low-fat Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup salsa
4 Tbsp non-fat sour cream

Steps:

In a small pan, sauté onions in olive oil until translucent. In a large bowl, combine cooked onions with avocado, tomatoes, cumin, salt, and pepper. Lay tortillas flat. Spread 1/3 cup of avocado mixture, 1 tsp green chiles, 2 Tbsp crab meat and 1 Tbsp cheese on each. Fold tortillas in half, place in a pan coated with nonstick spray. Cook over med heat 3-5 minutes per side, or until cheese is melted. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the flavor and texture of your quesadilla.
Use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados are creamy and flavorful, and they will add a delicious richness to your quesadilla.
Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives and preservatives, which can affect the flavor and texture of your quesadilla.
Don't overcook your quesadilla. The cheese should be melted and gooey, but the tortillas should not be crispy.
Serve your quesadilla immediately. Quesadillas are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
