Alright, I'm a fan of sandwiches and a fan of tuna salad. So when you combine the two, awesome! Here's a quick lunch I made today that was delicious and kind of an accident. I (normally one on stocking food) ran out of Mayo. The sandwich turned out to be great anyway.
Ingredients:
Tuna, one pickle (chopped), a few cherry tomatoes (chopped), mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, pepper jack cheese (shredded), bread, butter, and cooking spray.
Directions:
Mix tuna, pickles, tomatoes, mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder together. I just eye everything to try to keep it "uniform" I guess you could say. Do taste tests (that's what cooking is for anyway).
Preheat the pan and spray it with cooking spray. Butter the bread. Then layer. Stick the first bread down, the tuna salad you made, sprinkle your cheese on top (doesn't have to be pepper jack) and top with the last piece of bread. If you are anything like me, by the time you have these layered, you can flip the sandwich.
Once one sandwich is done cooking, I let it cool a little while I start the next one, cut to make it easier for small hands to handle, and promise my son if he eats his entire sandwich, he'll have chips afterward.
He took a bite and he thinks it's awesome (we already know he likes tuna by the way, so if you aren't a tuna fan, try chicken).
