- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend or shredded Monterey Jack
- 2 cooked salmon fillets, pulled apart with 2 forks into 1-inch pieces

Arrange 4 tortillas on a flat surface. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup cheese. Toss salmon with chili powder and place on top of cheese. Top with sliced jalapeno peppers and a second tortilla. Place tortillas on hot griddle and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese melts.

but still tasty, I used my own homemade guac and used corn tortillas instead, you should add something else for flavor unless you just want a quick healthy snack...maybe I will add corn next time...

Hi Carol,
Just watched this episode this afternoon... these instructions are different than the show... weird. Anyways, on the show she put everything on one half of the tortilla, folded it over, placed it on a baking sheet sprayed with PAM, then sprayed the top of the tortillas with PAM and placed another baking sheet on top of the quesadillas to help press them down. I am sure that the oven was heated to about 400 degrees, but I don't remember exactly, and she put them in the over until the cheese was melted... she said 10 mins on the show.
Hope that helps! Although, I always cook my tortillas on the griddle, or on a grill pan... I think that spraying PAM right on the tortilla would make it soggy?

I would like to have printed instructions for the oven "fried" Salmon Quesadillas she did on the air ! They were done differently than what these instructions say. I wish I had written them down! Any help out there?
