Hot Tuna and Cheese Sandwiches

Submitted by Lowfat Linda

"A simple, tasty, family meal -- a once a month treat since kids shouldn't have tuna too often. This recipe is lower in fat and higher in tuna then others I have seen. Makes good leftovers, each stored in their own packet, easy to reheat in toaster oven."
