Ingredients

Pico de gallo:

  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, minced
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 1/2 lime, juiced

Avocado tuna salad:

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 4.6 ounce can of Blue Harbor Wild Albacore Tuna in Water with Sea Salt
  • 1/4 cup celery, minced
  • 2 tbsp red onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped

Quesadillas:

  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Prepare the pico de gallo first by combining the tomato, onion, jalapeno, and lime juice. Set aside for now.
  • Prepare the avocado tuna salad: Add the avocado and lime juice to a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in the tuna, breaking it up with a fork. Stir in the celery, red onion, and cilantro.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Place a tortilla in the pan, and add 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 of the tuna salad mixture to half of the tortilla. Fold over the other half. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until crisp on the outside and cheese is melty on the inside.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and tuna salad. Slice each quesadilla into thirds and top with pico de gallo.
