Tuna with fresh avocado and lime juice

Top each muffin half with a portion of avocado and tuna mix, top with a slice of fresh tomato, and sprinkle with cheese. That�s it.

This recipe is listed as less than 30 minutes, but it is more like 15.

Think of all the ways you can make a tuna melt with Blue Harbor Tuna:

Add a little chopped red onion for more color and crunch.

Skip the tomato and add sliced mushrooms.

Save a few more calories and swap the jack cheese for parmesan.

Cutting out all bread? Replace the muffin with a slice of sweet potato (this will increase your cooking time).

Is it just me, or does a fried egg on top of this sound amazing?
