  1. Drain the tin of tuna and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of tomato puree, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.
  2. Finely chop half a red onion and add it to the tuna mixture, stirring to incorporate evenly.
  3. Place the tortilla wrap on a flat surface. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over one half of the wrap.
  4. Layer 30 grams of fresh spinach and 60 grams of grated mozzarella cheese on top of the tuna mixture.
  5. Fold the tortilla in half to encase the filling.
  6. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the quesadilla and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crisp, and the cheese has melted.
  7. Remove the quesadilla from the pan and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
