Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 Flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green onions and add them to the bowl with the tuna.
Add mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix everything together until well combined and the mixture is creamy.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Divide the tuna mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it over half of each tortilla.
Fold the other half of each tortilla over the filling to create a semi-circle shape.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 2 folded tortillas in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted. Repeat with the remaining butter and tortillas.
Remove the tortilla melts from the skillet and let them cool slightly before cutting them into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheesy Tuna Tortilla Melts!
