Chilli Cheese Tuna Melt

Name: Chilli Cheese Tuna Melt
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 1 serving
Ingredients: 1 tin Tuna; 25 g Lighter mayonnaise; 1 tspn Red chillies; 1/4 Red onion; 1 Spring onion; 3 Jalapenos; 1 tspn Lemon juice; 1 pinch Salt; 2 slices Sourdough bread; 5 g Lighter spread; 15 g Lighter mature cheddar; 10 g Red leicester cheese

For my classic tuna melt lovers, turn up the heat with this banging chilli version instead. Tuna is tossed with diced jalapenos and chopped red chilli's then loaded with cheese on crunchy sourdough bread. To lighten it up, you can use sliced sandwich thins, pitta breads or light bagels for a lower calorie option.

Hello! Any idea of the calories here just for the filling minus the cheese please?

Hi Mel, for just the filling without cheese, you're looking at roughly 180 kcal

Hi! I wonder if this could be reheated at work? We only have a microwave though... if not, is it good cold? Obviously the cheese won't be melted.. thank you!

Do you have a toaster at work? You could buy those toaster bags and put it in the toaster if you do.
