Method

  1. Chop the tomatoes, onion, garlic clove, and chipotle chili to taste.
  2. Heat a pan and brown the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and chipotle chili, flipping them as they brown on both sides.
  3. Transfer the browned mixture to a blender, add the chicken broth and salt, and blend until you get a smooth sauce.
  4. In the same pan or another, add the drained tuna in water and brown it for a few minutes.
  5. Pour the blended sauce over the tuna, add pepper and spices to taste, and cook for a few more minutes to integrate the flavors.
  6. On the corn tortillas, spread the grated cheese, place the tuna tinga on top, and fold or close the tortillas.
  7. Cook the quesadillas in a hot pan for a few minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the tortillas are crispy.
  8. Serve the quesadillas hot and add avocado slices on top. Optionally, add a little extra sauce.
