Smoked
Salmon
Quesadillas With Chipotle Creme Fraiche
A simple Mexican snack food. A basic quesadilla is an
uncooked tortilla folded over with a variety of fillings like cheese or
even meats, beans or potatoes. The folded tortilla is heated on a
hot comal (griddle) or
fried.

I N G R E D I E N T S
8 6-inch flour tortillas
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Filling
12 oz smoked salmon, sliced
12 oz Brie, sliced thinly
1 Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
Chipotle Creme Fraiche
4 oz crème fraiche
1 oz pureed chipotle, preferably La Morena brand
I
N S T R U C T I O N S
Lay 4 of the 8 tortillas on a flat surface. Place a single layer of the
smoked Salmon, Brie and apple onto each tortilla. Cover each with
another tortilla, forming a sandwich. Then cook each tortilla, according
to the directions above.
To cook the quesadillas
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a nonstick sauté pan on medium heat for 2
minutes, or until the oil ‘shimmers’. Place a quesadilla gently into the
pan. When it has browned on one side, gently flip with a spatula. By the
time the other side is brown, the quesadilla will be heated through and
the cheese will have begun to melt around the edges.
Chipotle Creme Fraiche
Combine the crème fraiche and the chipotle and spoon into a squeeze
bottle. When you’re ready to serve the Smoked Salmon Quesadillas,
‘paint’ the top of each with the Chipotle Crème Fraiche. |
