Melt 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tortilla and cook for 1 minute; flip it. Spread 1/2 of the tuna mixture over the tortilla, sprinkle with 1/2 of the Mexican cheese, and place another tortilla on top. Cover the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Flip the quesadilla, cover again, and cook until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining butter, tortillas, and filling. Cut each quesadilla into 8 wedges.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
