Sweet Petite Tuna Melt Peppers image

What an amazing low-carb twist on tuna melts. I was astonished at the fact the sweet peppers make perfect little placeholders for the tuna, they cook nicely in the oven, as soon as the cheese melts, you are ready to serve these up. Very easy, convenient, and healthy for Southbeachers, low-carbers or anyone wanting a new twist to your tuna melt.
