Directions

  1. In a skillet, saute garlic in oil until fragrant. Stir in the salmon, basil and pepper; heat through.
  2. Meanwhile, spread butter over one side of each tortilla. Place tortillas on a griddle, buttered side down. Sprinkle one half of each tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese and a fourth of the salmon; top each with 1/4 cup cheese. Fold other half over filling.
