Categories     Shellfish

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
4 scallions, chopped
1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos (optional)
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
8 ounces pasteurized crabmeat, drained if necessary
4 8-inch whole-wheat tortillas
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided

Steps:

  • . Combine Cheddar, cream cheese, scallions, bell pepper, cilantro, jalapenos (if using), orange zest and juice in a medium bowl. Gently stir in crab. Lay tortillas out on a work surface. Spread one-fourth of the filling on half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half, pressing gently to flatten. 2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2 quesadillas in the pan and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and quesadillas. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my crab quesadillas didn't turn out very well. The tortillas were soggy and the filling was bland.

I've never had crab quesadillas before, but I'm glad I tried them. They were crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor.

The quesadillas were good, but the filling was a little too runny for my liking.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasoning next time.

I'm not a big fan of crab, but these quesadillas were still delicious. The cheese and vegetables balanced out the seafood flavor.

These crab quesadillas were a hit at my party! The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the tortillas were perfectly crispy. I will definitely be making these again.
