Cheesy Salmon Quesadilla

Finding quick and healthy lunches aside from a variation of sandwiches can be a challenge for me. So this fits the bill perfectly. Just put the quesadillas together, place them in the frypan, and almost before you know it, it is done! I like this so much I also cook it at home in the kitchen at times.

They are so simple they make a great snack, lunch or an easy light dinner. This recipe uses just 4 ingredients I always have on hand: tinned salmon, grated apple, cheese and some mayo inside a tortilla and it works every time and anytime.


Ingredients

  • 1 can (170 g) pink salmon, drained well (I keep the bones and crush them with my fingers - added calcium and it is easily digested - I promise that fussy eaters wont even notice them!)
  • ¾ cup grated tasty cheese
  • 1 apple peeled and grated
  • ¾ cup low fat mayonnaise
  • 4 x 10-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat barbecue or fry pan to medium heat.
  2. In a bowl, stir together salmon, apple, cheese and mayonnaise.
  3. Spread a generous serving of mixture on half of each tortilla. Fold into a half-moon shape.
  4. Place on your frypan or a piece of tin foil large enough to cover the folded quesadilla but leave the ends open so it doesn't sweat and you can easily check on it. 
  5. Grill/fry about 4 minutes per side, or until cheese has melted and tortilla is golden brown.
  6. Cut tortillas into wedges and serve immediately.

Best eaten hot!

This mixture is also lovely as a topping on open bread roll and placed under a griller until top melts and turns golden brown. It is fabulous in jaffle iron sandwich on a wonderful camp fire.

    1. It is a easy meal. Most of us don't want to be slaving in our kitchens whilst travelling. At the same time, we don't boring, bland foods either! I hope you enjoyed it by now, sorry I missed the comment until now!

  2. Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy. What’s app contact : +44 7520 636249‬
