  Ease of Preparation: Easy

Ingredients
 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

Preparation

1. 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.
