HEART-HEALTHY SALMON QUESADILLAS



Heart-Healthy Salmon Quesadillas image

Canned wild salmon, whole wheat tortillas and nutrient-rich kale make this salmon quesadilla recipe an easy and nutritious heart healthy dinner. These quesadillas are a perfect go-to recipe when you don't have a lot of time to cook. Most of the ingredients are items you probably already have on hand: canned salmon, shredded cheese, and tortillas. Whole wheat tortillas are best for this quesadilla recipe, since they add quite a bit of fiber. But if you can't find whole wheat tortillas, feel free to substitute regular flour tortillas, low-carb tortillas or even spinach tortillas. If you don't have kale, feel free to substitute spinach. But if you can get it, it's worth it to use the kale, because it is just packed with nutrients.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup kale, stems removed, shredded into bite-sized pieces

6 ounces canned pink salmon, flaked

Steps:

  • Heat 1 teaspoons of the olive oil in a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat.

SALMON QUESADILLAS - SIMPLE AND SOOO YUMMY!



Salmon Quesadillas - Simple and Sooo Yummy! image

When I tried these I was so AMAZED! I admit, when I first came across this recipe I was skeptical. Once I made these I quickly posted the recipe here on ZAAR for safe keeping and of course to share with everyone! 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!

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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).
  • 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.
  • Cut into wedges and serve.
  • Guacamole and sour cream make nice garnishes but these are great as is.
