Salmon Quesadillas

This is a quick and nutritious lunch, great for the kids, delicious for everyone.  You might be one of those who don't cook with canned salmon, but it's health benefits are terrific, and it's a great change from tuna.  Give it a try!
 ************************

You'll need:
  • 14.75-oz. can salmon, drained and broken up with a fork (leave the bones--they're a terrific source of usable calcium!)
  • flour tortillas (whole wheat preferred), or whole grain wrap
  • fresh garlic
  • mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • dried basil
  • pepper

In a skillet, saute 2 minced cloves of garlic in 1 tsp. of oil.  Stir in salmon, 1-2 tsp. basil, and 1/2 tsp. of pepper.  Stir and cook until heated through.

Spread butter over one side of a flour tortilla; place butter side down on the griddle.  Sprinkle with 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese.  Spread 1/2 c. salmon mixture over half of tortilla.  Fold over, cook on low 1-2 minutes.  Flip and cook an additional minute.

Cut in wedges and serve with guacamole and salsa.  Serves 4.

Great served with tossed green salad or selection of cut-up fresh fruit and cottage cheese.
