Spicy Smoked Salmon Quesadillas

Spicy Smoked Salmon Quesadillas are a unique and delicious twist on a classic quesadilla. 

I recently saw a recipe for hot smoked salmon quesadillas. I love salmon. I am from the Pacific Northwest after all, so I loved the idea of a salmon quesadillas

I did not have everything that the recipe called for, so I had to adapt it quite a bit, but I ended up with a new quesadilla that my whole family loved.

This is the perfect meal for a hot summer day. It is light, but filling. It is can be cooked on the stove top, electric skillet, or the grill, so it is great for those days where you do not want to heat up the oven.

These will be on the menu plan often this summer. I love how easy these are.
