Directions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
-
Add the drained salmon, dried basil, and pepper to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and cook for 3-5 minutes until the salmon is heated through and flaked.
-
While the salmon cooks, spread softened butter evenly over one side of each flour tortilla.
-
Place the tortillas buttered-side down on a warm griddle or skillet over low heat.
-
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the center of each tortilla on the griddle.
-
Spread 1/2 cup of the salmon mixture over the cheese on half of each tortilla.
-
Fold the tortillas in half to cover the filling. Cook on low heat for 1-2 minutes per side, pressing down gently, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
-
Remove from heat, cut each taco into wedges, and serve immediately with salsa.
