Grate the cheese. Drain the mozzarella and tear into small pieces.

Peel and grate the carrots.

Drain the tuna and mash with a fork.

Cut into triangles and serve with salad.
Cook’s tips:
- Try adding canned red kidney beans (drained and rinsed) – chopped spring onion, sliced green pepper or black olives are good too!
- Be very careful when turning the quesadillas in the griddle or frying pan - ask an adult for help.
-Try adding a little low fat dressing to the salad.
