These finish in the oven under the broiler. If you prefer, brown them in a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray. Serve sour cream and salsa on the side.

1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
3/4 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, shell pieces removed
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 (8-inch) fat-free flour tortillas

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat broiler.

Step 2

Combine first 6 ingredients, stirring well. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over each tortilla. Divide crab mixture evenly among tortillas. Fold in half, pressing gently to seal.

Step 3

Place the filled tortillas on a baking sheet. Broil for 1 minute or until the tortilla is lightly browned.

If cilantro isn't your favorite, make sure you reduce the amount or get rid of it all together. Totally overpowered the dish. Also, 1 minute under the broiler is enough to warm the tortilla and get the cheese a little melty, but you need to leave it in for longer if you want to crab mixture to warm up. Otherwise you get a cold filling (which some people might enjoy, but I do not).

This was good, not great. Possibly the quality of my supermarket lump crab. Next time I will probably try to get the good stuff, because there are so few ingredients the flavor really comes through.

I doubled these to feed more people. Used jumbo lump crab, family loved it. Served with sour cream, guacamole and salsa. Very good! quick and easy dinner. Go a little easy on the cilantro if you are not a huge fan, otherwise didn't change anything.
