Southwest Tuna Melt

I had an avocado and some tuna to use up, so I came up with this on the fly! It went over very well! I'm recording this for my benefit, but I hope you enjoy it as well! Feel free to leave comments or suggestions!

Steps

15 mins

1

Drain all liquids from the tuna (any liquids left will make the bread soggy).
2

Peel the avocado and place the pulp in a medium sized mixing bowl. Mash until the lumps are mostly worked out.
3

Chop the green peppers, onions, and cilantro. Add to mixing bowl.
4

Add the tuna to the bowl, as well as the Tabasco sauce, lime juice, and seasonings.
5

Mix until the ingredients are distributed evenly. Add more of any if the ingredients if it doesn't have the kick you want.
6

Spread the mixture over the 4 slices of bread, and add the shredded cheese to the top.
7

Broil in oven/toaster oven for 5-10 minutes. All ovens cook differently, so keep an eye in it so it doesn't burn!
8

Plate your melts and serve! Great with chips and salsa on the side!

Alternatively: The spread makes for a great chip dip as well! Just forego the bread and cheese!
