I love seafood.
I love it even more when it’s mixed with bacon and cheese.
I love quesadillas.
So why not combine all of that into a single tasty treat?
I used my favorite tortillas — La Tortilla Factory. They’re high in protein and fiber, and they taste great: soft, chewy and perfect for quesadillas.
The avocado and pineapple add a bright, tropical note to the filling.
And the bacon… well, bacon makes everything better.
I always garnish my quesadillas with lime. We keep limes around the house all the time — they brighten up each bite.
For the crab, don’t skimp: use lump crab meat, not imitation. The real thing makes a noticeable difference.
You won’t regret it.
Crab Avocado Quesadillas

Leave a Review »
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- 2 oz lump crab meat
- 1 slice bacon, fried and crumbled
- 2 slices avocado, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped shallots
- 1/4 cup low-fat, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 slice pineapple, chopped
Instructions
-
Combine all ingredients except the tortillas and cheese in a bowl.
-
Heat a skillet over medium and spray lightly with cooking spray. Assemble each quesadilla with the crab mixture between tortillas. Make sure there is cheese on the bottom of one tortilla and on top of the crab mixture so it melts and acts like glue.
-
Brown the tortilla on both sides until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden. Serve warm with lime wedges.

Thanks so much for the well wishes for Mr. How Sweet. He’s still a bit under the weather, and I ended up feeding him popsicles all night.
When he wakes up and realizes how little protein he’s had, he’ll be surprised — and probably a little dramatic about it. Literally.
