Ingredients

½ cup frozen peas, thawed
2 tablespoons minced red onion
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
3 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
2 miniature soft wraps, such as La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Soft Wraps Mini brand
1 (3 ounce) package skinless, boneless smoked salmon, broken up
1 tablespoon Chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Combine peas, onion, and cider vinegar in a small bowl. Let stand 3 minutes to pickle; drain.
Combine half of the pea-onion mixture with the cream cheese in another small bowl, mashing with a fork to combine.
For quesadilla, spread half of the cream cheese mixture onto each soft wrap. Spoon the salmon and the remaining pea-onion mixture over the cream cheese mixture on one of the wraps. Top with the remaining soft wrap, with the cream cheese mixture side down.
Coat a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Heat the skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadilla; cook 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once halfway through cooking time. Cut the quesadilla into six wedges. If desired, serve with tomatoes and cilantro.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it��s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
