Salmon Quesadilla Recipe
2 garlic cloves , minced
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2-7.75oz cans Dave’s King Salmon
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
4 large flour tortillas or corn tortillas , whatever you prefer, burrito size is good
2 cups mozzarella cheese or Monterey jack cheese or Monterey jack pepper cheese , shredded
Sauté garlic in oil until tender but not brown. Stir in salmon, basil and pepper. Cook over medium heat 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 few minutes- I start with the garlic and oil for about 30 seconds then add the rest.).
Meanwhile spread butter over one side of each tortilla. Place butter side down on griddle. Sprinkle each with 1/2 c cheese. Spread 1/2 cup of mixture over half of the cheese. Fold tortilla in half and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Cut into wedges and serve.
Guacamole and sour cream make nice garnishes but these are great as is.
