I just enjoyed this for lunch and it was so good. I followed recipe exactly, except cut it down to serve two. I will be making this again. Thanks boomette for another great recipe. Made for 123 tag.

What a great idea! I cut the tuna in half as I felt it would be too much and thinly sliced the zucchini rather than grating. Made for a very nice lunch. Thanks Boomette!

Some lively flavors going on between the pepper jack and red pepper pesto - a really delicious lunch or snack. I used Recipe#245260 for the pesto and leftover cooked zucchini instead of grated. I used regular flour tortillas since I didn't have the pesto garlic type. Something totally different if you're having quesadilla burn-out!

Full flavored tuna quesadilla with tuna?!?! I had to try this since it was so unique and I'm glad that I did. I skipped the olive oil and just used cooking spray. I used a total of 5 tortilla's for this, two each for my DS and DH and one for me - I just folded mine in half when I put it in the pan. My tuna was not flavored. One note - do be sure to squeeze the zucchini dry; it wasn't in the recipe and I forgot, then it was drippy. DH used salsa with his, I had some with and some without salsa - I couldn't decide which was better, liked it both ways! Made for Newest Zaar.
