TUNA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. This is used to keep your quesadillas warm while you are pan frying your batches.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the tuna with kosher dill pickle, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, chives, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
• Distribute 1/2 of both Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese on top of one half of each tortilla.
• Top cheese with tuna mixture (about 1/3 cup per tortilla).
• Top tuna mixture with remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese and distribute potato chips over top (crush any larger potato chips if needed).
• Fold over each tortilla so it's a half-moon shape.
• To cook quesadillas, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and gently swirl around to coat.Note: Cook the quesadillas in batches, two quesadillas at a time, adding more oil to the pan between batches.
• Place two quesadillas in the pan. Cook quesadillas for 2 minutes on one side.
• Carefully flip the quesadillas to the other side and continue to cook for another 2 minutes or until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside and the cheese has melted inside (carefully watch to ensure they don't burn). Once done, transfer the quesadillas to a sheet pan and place into your preheated oven to keep warm while you are continuing to cook the remaining quesadillas.
• Repeat process to cook remaining quesadillas.
• Once the quesadillas are done, cut each in half so you end up with 12 pieces. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 8 to 10-inch skillet or saute pan. Add the onion, and cook slowly until the onion is wilted and translucent. Add the hot sauce.

Arrange the tomato and onion mixture in the bottom of the skillet, and pour the eggs over the top, pressing the top down with a fork so the solids are covered. Stir a little. Cook over medium heat until the eggs begin to bubble gently around the edges.
