Tuna Quesadillas
Description
The Tuna Quesadillas start by mixing canned tuna with finely diced red onion, sweetcorn, and mayonnaise to create a creamy filling. Olive oil is brushed onto a griddle pan before laying down a tortilla. The bottom tortilla is topped with mozzarella cheese, followed by the tuna mixture, more cheese, and a second tortilla to close.
The quesadilla is cooked over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are lightly browned and crisp, and the cheese inside is melted. Once cooked, it's cut into slices and served warm. The mixture offers a creamy texture from the mayonnaise and mozzarella paired with the mild sweetness of sweetcorn and bite from the onion.
This preparation makes a convenient, warm snack or light meal that is easy to assemble and cook quickly. The blend of tuna and cheese provides protein and satisfying richness.
