Salsa Tuna Melts image

I felt like having tuna melts tonight, but didn't want just the same old stuff. (I usually just go for tuna, mayo and lots of black pepper.) This is what I came up with, and it was pretty darned tasty, if I do say so myself. Hope you like it too! (Note: Prep and Cooking times are approximate...I didn't time mine, so I had to guess.)

Time 10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (6 ounce) can tuna, drained (I used chunk light tuna in water because that's what I had on hand, but use your favorite.)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (more or less, to taste. I used Hellmann's Light.)
3 tablespoons fresh salsa (more or less, to taste.)
ground black pepper, to taste
2 -4 slices bread, toasted. (I used whole wheat this time, but English muffins, sandwich flats or pita bread would also work well)
2 -4 slices American cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)

Steps:

  • Toast your bread until it is light golden brown. (If it gets too dark during this step, the edges will burn when you put it in the oven/toaster oven later.).
  • Drain excess liquid from the salsa if it is very juicy. Otherwise, the tuna mixture will be too runny, and the toast will become soggy.
  • While the bread is toasting, mix the tuna, mayonnaise and salsa in a small bowl.
  • Spread some of the tuna mixture on each piece of toast.
  • Place slices on a foil-lined pan in the toaster oven and heat until tuna mixture is warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Top each piece with a slice of cheese, and put back in oven until cheese is melted.
  • Enjoy!
