Tuna, Lime and Cilantro Baked Potato

This zesty baked potato is very easy and light on calories. If you wish, chop a red pepper into small pieces and stir into the mix. If you're cooking an ovenful of potatoes, increase the temperature. Use metal skewers or baking prongs pushed through the potatoes to reduce the cooking time by up to a quarter. Rubbing a few drops of oil into the skin before cooking and sprinkling salt around the potatoes makes the skin extra crispy.
