"I just came up with this today because my toddler has a new love for plain cheese quesadillas...and I love tuna melts with lots of tabasco...so I thought, why not a tuna melt quesadilla but with salsa and pickled jalapenos? It turned out sooo good!"

I'm not usually a huge fan of tuna so I had some reservations about this. Let me tell you I was shocked at how good it is (or I should say "was" because I gobbled it all down!) and surprised that I liked it so much... I used my favorite salsa, Paul Newman's medium peach salsa, and didn't have any jalapenos so "hit" it with some sriracha to up the spicy factor. A great and complete meal with leftover black beans and rice. Thanks, Engrossed.

What a tasty recipe. I love it, and so easy to put together. I use pickled hot peppers instead of the pickled jalapeños. DH enjoyed this also, gotta love that. Made for the Billboard Recipe Tag Game.
