Description

A quick and easy twist on the classic tuna melt, combining savory tuna with melting mozzarella and a spicy kick from sriracha, all packed in a crispy quesadilla.


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 can tuna, drained
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tortillas


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sriracha until smooth.
  2. Add the drained tuna, chopped spinach, minced garlic, and dried basil. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Take one tortilla and spread half of the tuna mixture on one half, top with mozzarella cheese, and fold the tortilla.
  4. In a preheated skillet over medium heat, cook the quesadilla until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  5. Repeat with the second quesadilla.
  6. Slice into wedges and serve.

Notes

For a crisper exterior, lightly brush the tortillas with oil before cooking. Experiment with different cheese varieties or add additional vegetables for variation.
