Ingredients

• 2 5-ounce cans Canned tuna
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Pickle relish
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 medium-sized Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced red onion, pickle relish, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until fully combined.

Step 3

Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/4 of the tuna mixture evenly on the bottom half of the tortilla.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the tuna mixture.

Step 5

Fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Press gently to seal.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, tuna mixture, and cheese.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter (or as needed to lightly coat the surface).

Step 8

Place one prepared tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked Tuna Twister Melt to a cutting board and allow it to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges or halves.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 11

Serve the Tuna Twister Melt warm with your choice of side salad, chips, or soup. Enjoy!
