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!
