Cooking Instructions

60 minutes
  1. 1

    I made mashed potatoes yesterday and had some left over, so I’m using that. If you don’t have any, make your favorite mashed potatoes—just make sure they’re flavorful.

  2. 2

    In a skillet, heat the oil and add the chopped onion. When it starts to sizzle, add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the finely chopped tomatoes and cook everything for about 10 minutes. Add the well-drained tuna, mix, and cook so everything combines. Now add the mashed potatoes and mix again.

  3. 3

    Start filling the tortillas with the mixture. Use toothpicks to keep them closed.

  4. 4

    Once the quesadillas are assembled, arrange them on a plate.

  5. 5

    Heat enough oil and fry the quesadillas until golden. Drain and place on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve on a bed of lettuce, 3 or 4 quesadillas per person.

  7. 7

    Place the queso fresco, pickled onion, and sour cream in small dishes.

  8. 8

    Serve the salsas in bowls so everyone can add what they like.

  9. 9

    You can serve with refried beans or rice.

  10. 10

    Enjoy!
