Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of tuna (drained)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup chunky salsa
- 6 8-inch flour tortillas
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tuna Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, and chunky salsa. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and the tuna is evenly coated with the creamy and tangy mixture. This will create a flavorful and moist filling for your quesadillas. 🌟 -
Assemble the Quesadillas:
Lay out three of the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the tuna mixture over each tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the tuna mixture. Place the remaining tortillas over the filled ones, pressing down gently to ensure they adhere well and create a nice seal. 🌮🧀 -
Cook the Quesadillas:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted inside. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula to ensure even cooking. Repeat this process for the remaining quesadillas. 🕰️ -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute before slicing them into wedges. Serve them warm, and if you like, accompany with your favorite salsa or a dollop of sour cream for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and satisfying Tuna Quesadillas! 😋
