Smoked Salmon Quesadillas

It’s a long weekend here in Canada, it’s the Victoria Day May long weekend. I love long weekends, perfect time for spending with family and enjoying good food and drinks. My starter to this great long weekend are these wonderful smoked salmon quesadillas with creamy chipotle sauce. They are so delicious and they take just minutes to prepare.

The creamy chipotle sauce is amazing. It’s made with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce which I discovered a little while ago and I just love it. The recipe makes about 2/3 cup of this delicious sauce, so you probably won’t be using it all, but I wouldn’t throw it out, it’s like gold, save it and spread it on sandwiches. You’ll love it.
