Ingredients

• 2 pieces Salmon fillets (skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large)
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 piece Jalapeño (optional, thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
• 0.5 cup Salsa (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Use a fork to flake the salmon into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean and reheat it over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 5

Place one flour tortilla in the skillet. Add 1/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over half the tortilla.

Step 6

Scatter 1/4 of the flaked salmon over the cheese. Add a few slices of jalapeño and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 7

Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 8

Once all quesadillas are cooked, cut each into wedges and serve hot with sour cream and salsa on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
