It was sooo amazingly wonderful! I'd had tuna on bread before but I'd never had a tuna melt...Anyway that brings me to my kicked up tuna melt,here's what you'll need:
1.4 or 5 sprigs of cilantro
2. 1 clove garlic
3.1.5 c of mayo
4.1/4th c sweet relish
5.salt & peppa to taste
6.Any bun or bread
7. white cheddar
8. few onion slices
9.2 dash's lime juice
10. 2 cans of 6oz of tuna
Alrighty the mayo is real simple. It's a cilantro lime mayo.Cut up this much cilantro
and the garlic mince it real well.Then to that add the relish,stir it abit. Add the mayo and 2 healthy dashes of lime just.You must mix it very well. Then add the tuna. Again mix that very well it will look like this:
Ok now take an onion and chop up about 8 small slices. Also slice up about 4 piece's of cheese. Now we are ready to assemble.Slice the bun in half and begin to pack the tuna neatly on both sides of the bun, on top of that goes the onions,then the cheese.
This goes in the oven on 375 for about 10 mins. The bun will be crispy and the cheese melty.It looks like this
