Crispy-toasted tortilla wraps (quesadillas) filled with super tasty tuna mayo, and plenty of ooey-gooey melted cheese.

📝 Ingredients

  • 150 g can of tuna ((Note 1))
  • 25 g celery (finely chopped)
  • 10 g red onion (finely chopped (Note 2))
  • 2 tbsp mayo ((Note 3))
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional) ((Note 4))
  • 1/2 lime zest
  • 70 g cheese (grated (Note 5))
  • 2 medium tortillas ((Note 6))
  • 1/2 tbsp butter ((Note 7))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Add the drained tuna, finely chopped celery, red onion, mayonnaise, paprika, cayenne pepper, and lime zest to a bowl and mix well.
  2. 2Heat a large non-stick skillet/frying pan over medium heat and add the butter.
  3. 3Place the tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Sprinkle the cheese evenly onto each one.
  4. 4Spread the tuna mixture evenly over one-half of each tortilla wrap, leaving a small border around the edge and fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
  5. 5Carefully place one of the tortilla wraps open and facing upwards in a skillet/frying pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  6. 6Then lift the cheese-only side and fold in half. Continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes until golden brown on each side, pressing down with a spatula or slotted turner to allow some cheese to ooze out of the edges and crisp up in the pan.
  7. 7Remove the quesadilla from the skillet/frying pan and let it cool for a minute before slicing in half or into wedges.
  8. 8Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
