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
- 1Add the drained tuna, finely chopped celery, red onion, mayonnaise, paprika, cayenne pepper, and lime zest to a bowl and mix well.
- 2Heat a large non-stick skillet/frying pan over medium heat and add the butter.
- 3Place the tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Sprinkle the cheese evenly onto each one.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 7Remove the quesadilla from the skillet/frying pan and let it cool for a minute before slicing in half or into wedges.
- 8Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
