Chipolte Tuna Melt

I never thought of myself to be a tuna melty type of gal. Something about warm tuna fish just didn't do it for me. That is, until I made my own version. This might look similar to my Chipolte Chicken Salad (aka All Time Favorite Chicken Salad) because it is. I totally ripped off my own recipe in order to bring you this one.

Your welcome.

This isn't your normal tuna salad sandwich. Crankin' up the heat, I've totally converted my opinions of warm tuna fish. If you like some smokey spice to mix up a classic, you won't be disappointment with this. If you don't like it hot...I'm not sure what to tell you then. At least try change it up a bit and toss in some celery, onions, tomatoes, etc. That's why we are all here right? To try something new?

No more plain old tuna & mayo sandwiches, okay?
