Mexican Tuna Melt Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source.
• Spread the bread out on a baking sheet and toast. Spread the toasted muffins or bread with the mayonnaise, if using. Top with the Tuna Salad and then the shredded cheese. Place the baking sheet under the broiler and heat for 3 to 5 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
• In a small mixing bowl break up the tuna with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion, and parsley. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and season with pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, if using.

Steps:

• Place tuna into a mixing bowl and lightly break apart with a fork. Add green onion, celery, capers, chile paste, and mayonnaise. Pinch small pieces from mozzarella cheese into the tuna salad and stir to mix. Season with salt and black pepper; refrigerate tuna salad until needed.
• Heat oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread butter generously on both sides of French bread slices.
• Broil buttered bread until golden brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip bread slices and broil other side until toasted, 2 to 3 more minutes. Remove from oven and turn bread slices over on the baking sheet so the darkest sides are on the bottom.
• Gently spread tuna salad onto bread slices using 2 forks. Press the salad onto the bread and spread tuna all the way to the edges of the bread. Spread shredded sharp Cheddar over each sandwich. Dust tops with cayenne pepper.
• Place sandwiches under broiler and cook until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 6 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Toast bread in a toaster.
• Combine tuna, shallot, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, salt, hot sauce and pepper in a medium bowl.
• Spread 1/4 cup of the tuna mixture on each slice of toast; top with tomato slices and 2 tablespoons cheese.
• Place sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Drain tuna from the cans.
• Gently toss the tuna, lime juice, cilantro, onion, avocado, tomato and jalapeno in a bowl.
• Spoon the salad on top of the bagels halves and top with a slice of cheese.
• Tast in toaster oven until the cheese melts.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Combine tuna, celery, onion and mayonnaise/pickles/ketchup dressing.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Toast English muffin halves.
• Place split-side-up on baking sheet and top each with 1/4 of tuna mixture.
• Broil 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.
• Top with cheese and return to broiler until cheese is melted, about 1 minute longer.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a small bowl, add the mayo, mustard, salt, pepper & spice. Mix with a fork.
• Finely dice the onion & dill pickle, and add to the bowl.
• Add the tuna, well drained, to the mixture.
• With a fork, mix well, ensuring the tuna is saturated with mayo & mustard, and the pickles & onion are evenly distributed. Adjust spice as necessary.
• Slice the tomato into very thin slices, removing seeds. Place slices on a paper towel to absorb moisture (you don't want soggy bread).
• Toast bread, slightly lighter than you prefer.
• Divide tuna salad mixture in half, and scoop on top of the toast. Spread the mixture evenly.
• Place tomato slices on top of tuna mixture.
• Sprinkle grated cheese on to toast.
• Place toast onto a cookie sheet.
• Bake for 5 - 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler.
• Combine the tuna, olives, mayonnaise, red onion, capers, black pepper, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir until well mixed.
• Arrange the bread slices on a work surface. Lightly spread each slice of bread with additional mayonnaise and top with 2 tomato slices each. Divide the tuna salad evenly among the 4 bread slices over the tomatoes. Top the tuna salad with slices of cheese.
• Place sandwiches on a sheet tray and place under broiler. Cook until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes.
