When I tried these I was so AMAZED. I admit, when I first came across this recipe I was skeptical. Try these. You will be so glad that you did. These are so fast, simple and tasty I wondered what took me so long to try them in the first place. For fastest results use a can or pouch of boneless skinless of salmon. These are to die for though when made with some leftover grilled salmon. I have even been successful getting dh to grill them outside for me. :) Any way you make these, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Hey, they are even special enough to serve guests. Who would think of a quesadilla with such great ingredients? Enjoy. Ingredients:
2 garlic cloves, minced |
6 ounces canned salmon, boneless skinless (if using regular canned just drain. flake and remove bones ) or 6 ounces cooked salmon (leftovers work great here ) |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
4 flour tortillas (about 6 inches in size) or 4 corn tortillas, whatever you prefer |
1 1/2 cups monterey jack pepper cheese or 1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Spray a skillet with cooking spray and saute garlic for about 1 minute or until tender but not brown. Stir in salmon, basil and pepper. Cook over medium heat just until warm. (For one less pan to wash I sometimes do this in my microwave in a small glass bowl and it comes out great. Microwaves vary- mine only takes a minute).
2. Meanwhile assemble quesadillas: 1 tortilla, a quarter of the cheese, and a quarter of the salmon mixture, fold in half spray pan with cooking spray and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Spray top of quesadilla and flip. Continue to cook 1 or 2 more minutes or until golden brown. Can also be sprayed and baked all at once on a baking sheet in a 350 degree oven until browned and cheese has melted.
3. Cut into wedges and serve.
4. Guacamole and sour cream make nice garnishes but these are great as is.
