Yum Yum Salmon Quesadillas #SundaySupper

By 19 Comments

I have always enjoyed cooking with my kids.  Spending time with my kids in the kitchen is one of my favorite ways to spend the day.  As they get older, you forget how much fun it really is to cook with little ones.  I had the opportunity to do so recently and I had the time of my life in the kitchen with one of our best friends little girl.  You forget how curious they are at 5 years old.   Yes, at this age, food styling is just a beautiful thing.  We had made Steak and Yum Yum Salmon the night before and had all the perfect makings for Quesadillas in the fridge.  We even had some sour cream, my favorite topping for quesadillas.  The Mom 100 Cookbook immediately came to mind .   When we found Katie Workman’s recipe for The Basic Quesadilla and It’s Infinite Variations, we knew Yum Yum Salmon Quesadillas would be a hit.

These Yum Yum Salmon Quesadillas are perfect for an Easy Weekday Supper
Ingredients
  • 8 medium-size (8 inch) Flour tortillas
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 pound Yum Yum Salmon
  • 1 Green Pepper sliced thin
  • 1 Large Onion sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil
  • For Serving (optional)
  • Salsa
  • Sour Cream
  • Guacamole
  • Chopped fresh Cilantro
Instructions
  1. Preheat the broiler
  2. Saute the Green Pepper and Onion in the Olive Oil until onion is slightly brown
  3. Place 4 tortillas under the broiler, right on the rack, and keep checking them until they turn golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. A dark brown bubble here or there is fine. Remove the tortillas and place them uncooked side up on a work surface. Evenly sprinkle ½ cup of the cheese over each of the 4 tortillas
  4. Top the cheese with the peppers and onions and the Yum Yum Salmon
  5. Place the 4 uncooked tortillas on top of the filling. Carefully transfer the tortillas to a baking sheet and place it under the broiler. Broil the quesadillas until the cheese is melted and the top tortillas are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Let the quesadillas sit for a minute before you slice each into 6 wedges
  6. Serve the Yum Yum Salmon Quesadillas with salsa, sour cream, guacamole and cilantro, if desired.

Kid Ratings on Yum Yum Salmon Quesadillas: Alexandra 10, Ronnie 9, Reis 10, Riley…well let’s just say we made him a steak one.  Guests gave the a perfect 10!  Did I mention how much we loved topping the quesadillas with the sour cream? It is the perfect completement to the Yum Yum Sauce

Should we top the quesadillas with sour cream or leave  them plain?

I enjoyed The Mom 100 Cookbook so much and love sharing it with good friends.  Katie Workman truly inspires us to spend more time in the kitchen with our children through this cookbook.   It has been such a pleasure getting to known and virtually spending #SundaySupper Around the Family Table with Katie.  My kids have given every recipe that we have tried from this cookbook the Thumbs up!   The Arroz con Pollo recipe is now requested for dinner at least once a week.   And the Garlic Lemon Rosemary Roasted Chicken is such a big hit because we love reinventing leftovers with it.

I love following Katie Workman’s blog for awesome recipes and tips on getting kids in the kitchen.

  6. I’m still determined to try that Yum Yum sauce! I don’t know how successful I’d be at trying to put salmon in my kids quesadillas, but I know I would adore them. Maybe I’ll make a go of it, because they sure sound tasty.

  10. I love little helpers in the kitchen! I sense a custom apron making craft session in your future. So many quesadillas over the last few weeks makes me glad I have a quesadilla maker. It’s going to get a lot of use now that school is back in session!
