Ingredients
Mango Salsa:
  • 1 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into ¼ inch cubes
  • ½ red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed, chopped small
  • 1 jalapeno, seeds and ribs removed, minced
  • ¼ cup cilantro, minced
  • 2 scallions, minced
  • juice of 1 lime
  • ¼ cup minced red onion
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
Quesadillas:
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro, minced
  • juice of ½ lime
  • 4 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup crabmeat, picked over
  • ½ tsp hot sauce
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 (10-inch) whole wheat tortillas
Instructions
  1. To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with the back of a fork until it's almost smooth. To the avocado, add the cilantro, lime juice, cheese, crab, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper; mix well.
  3. Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat or alternately, an electric griddle. Spread the crab mixture over half of the tortilla and fold in half; transfer to the skillet or griddle. Cook quesadillas 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden. Slice quesadilla into wedges and serve with the mango salsa.
