Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Before you begin...
Get all your ingredients and equipment ready
Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg
Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]
Grate your cheddar cheese finely
Chop your tomato[es] finely
Wash your salad, then pat dry with kitchen paper
Drain your tuna
Add the drained tuna, grated cheese and sliced spring onion to a bowl with your mayo, tomato ketchup, ground smoked paprika and half your chipotle paste (save the rest for later!) and give everything a good mix up – this is your tuna filling
Divide the tuna filling between your tortillas, covering only half
Fold each tortilla over and press down firmly so you're left with 2 half moon-shaped quesadillas per person – these are your quesadillas
Heat a pan over a medium-high heat
Add 2 quesadillas to the pan and cook for 2-4 min or until slightly brown
Carefully flip the quesadillas with a spatula (you might need to use your hand for extra support) and cook for another 2-4 min on the other side – these are your tuna melt quesadillas
Tip: Cooking for 3 or more? Use 2 pans!
While the quesadillas cook, combine the chopped tomato and remaining chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in a small bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and half your white wine vinegar (save the rest for later!)
Season with a little salt and a pinch of sugar and stir it all together – this is your chipotle salsa
Transfer the tuna melt quesadillas to a clean board and cut in half
Serve the tuna melt quesadillas with the chipotle salsa (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!) and salad to the side
Dress the salad with the remaining white wine vinegar
Enjoy!
