If you are ever wondering what I am eating for lunch or dinner, there’s a 95% chance it is this spicy salmon quesadilla lately.

I have been on a serious quesadilla kick for the last few weeks and I am absolutely obsessed. I love how simple and easy they are to make and they taste 100x more indulgent and gluttonous than they actually are. Coming from the person who doesn’t like traditional cheese quesadillas (I know, I’m weird), I created this healthier twist on a quesadilla to enjoy.

I love how the possibilities on what to add inside are endless, but lately this spicy salmon combo is my go to. I use Safe Catch Wild Salmon, some avocado mayo, hot sauce and black pepper to make a “salmon salad” of sorts. Kind of like tuna salad except with wild salmon. I add it to my favorite tortillas with some goat or feta cheese or a nut-based cheese, with some leafy greens and sliced avocado. It gets so crispy and oh my gosh – I want to make another one right now.

Safe Catch’s Wild Salmon is a complete game changer. I love all of their products because they are quality fish we can actually trust and they have the best tuna (lowest in mercury) and you can make so many things with their products. I love making easy salmon burgers, tuna stuffed avocados and more using their canned fish.

I have a feeling you guys are going to love these quesadillas as much as I do and I cannot wait to see yours in action. Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram when you make them too!
