Time 12m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pouch (6.4 oz.) or 2 pouches (2.6 oz.) StarKist® Chunk Light or Albacore Tuna
1/2 cup diced celery
2 tbsp. sweet pickle relish
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 tsp. lemon juice
4 soft (6-inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine tuna, celery, relish, mayonnaise and lemon juice and mix well.

  • Remove from pan and cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is firm and has a mild flavor. Avoid tuna that is mushy or has a strong fishy smell.
  • Cook the tuna properly. Tuna should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the tuna is safe to eat and has a tender texture.
  • Use a variety of ingredients. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients in your tuna quesadillas. Some popular additions include cheese, salsa, avocado, and sour cream.
  • Use a good quality tortilla. The tortilla is the foundation of your quesadilla, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for tortillas that are fresh and pliable.
  • Cook the quesadilla until it is golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the quesadilla is cooked through and has a delicious flavor.
