Southwest Tuna Melt: Jazz up your traditional tuna melt with spicy southwest flavors for a delicious and crave-able lunch or dinner packed with flavor and healthy too!
⅓ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (or olive oil mayo for dairy-free)
Juice of 1 small lime
1 x 4 ounce can green chilies
Generous pinch cilantro
Generous pinch cumin
Pinch salt
Pinch lemon pepper
For the sandwich:
Whole grain bread (I used Udi's multi grain gluten-free)
Pepper jack cheese (omit if dairy-free)
Chalulah for topping, optional
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients for tuna together. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
To make your sandwich, toast bread in a toaster oven until desired doneness. Place a slice of cheese on your bread. You can either leave the sandwich open faced and add the tuna to that slice without adding an other piece of bread (that's how I eat it), or you can place the cheese on one piece and the bread on an other. Put bread topped with cheese/tuna mixture back in the oven until cheese is melty, about 1 minute.
Top with chalulah if desired before fully assembling sandwich. Serve immediately.
Notes
If you don't have a toaster oven, you can make your sandwich on the stove top just like a grilled cheese.
