How to Make Bevs Hot And Cheesy Tuna Quesadillas To Die For

  1. In a medium bowl, gently mix together the canned tuna, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, and 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard.
  2. Lay out two large flour tortillas on a flat surface.
  3. Divide the tuna mixture evenly between the two tortillas, spreading it over one half of each tortilla.
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna on each tortilla.
  5. Evenly distribute 1/4 cup of chopped green onions and 1/4 cup of sliced tomatoes over the cheese.
  6. Fold each tortilla in half, pressing down gently to seal.
  7. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  8. Cook the quesadillas for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then cut into wedges and serve immediately.
