ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup minced onion
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (squeezed from one fresh lime is best)
- 1 (6 ounce) can solid white tuna packed in water, well drained
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1⁄4 lb cheddar cheese
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- 1 ripe tomatoes, sliced (optional)
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
- hot sauce (optional)
directions
- Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster.
- Combine the onions, parsley, and tuna in mixing bowl. You can add hot sauce or other spices if you want to jazz it up.
- Add the lime juice to the bowl and mix it all up with a fork. You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if needed.
- Place the bread on a baking sheet. Cover each slice with the tuna mixture.
- Cut the cheese into slices and then cover each sandwich with a thin layer of cheese.
- Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling a bit.
- (Optional) You can also add a fresh slice of tomato or avocado to each sandwich and then broil for 1 or 2 more minutes. (If you broil much longer than that the tomato or avocado can get mushy).
- (Optional) If you like a firmer sandwich, melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet and then transfer the cooked sandwiches to the skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the bread is buttery and firm.
- Serve them while they're hot.
