Tuna Salad Quesadillas
Ingredients
1 12 oz can solid white tuna, drained and flaked
1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup celery, chopped (1 stalk)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup mayonnaise, divided
2 teaspoons snipped fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
4 medium sized tortillas
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Preparation
1
In a large bowl, mix tuna, green onion, and celery.
2
Add lemon juice, a small pinch of sea salt and black pepper, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, and dill to the tuna mixture. Toss until even. Now we have a delicious tuna salad filling.
3
Next, let’s make the quesadillas! Heat up a nonstick skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, place 1 tortilla in the center of the skillet.
4
Quickly scoop 2 heaping tablespoons tuna salad filling onto half side of the tortilla. Spread out the tuna salad filling by the back of a big spoon. Place 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese on the other half side of the tortilla.
5
When the cheese just starts melting, fold the tortilla in half. Cook each side for an additional 30 seconds or until the tortilla turns crisp and brown.
6
Repeat step 3-5 to make the other 3 quesadillas.
7
Cut each quesadilla in half and serve with salsa or guacamole, or both.
8
Add 1 tablespoon mayonnaise in the left fillings to complete the tuna salad.
