For the filling, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the garlic and onion with olive oil, add the Chipotle Tuna Marina Azul®, the tomato, the serrano pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and let it cool. For the guajillo dough, blend the guajillo pepper with a little of the soaking liquid until you obtain a paste. In a bowl, knead the corn dough with the guajillo pepper and salt until all the flavor is incorporated into the dough. Form 30-gram balls and using a tortilla press, flatten the balls until you get a tortilla, place the well-drained Mexican-style tuna filling inside and close it. Heat the oil in a deep pot and fry the quesadillas until they are crispy. Remove from the fryer and place on absorbent paper to remove excess grease. Serve with pickled onions, cilantro leaves, and strips of leek. Accompany with lime and salsa.
