TUNA MELTS

Ingredients

• 6 (6-inch) pitas
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna, drained
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle relish
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large tomato, sliced into thin wedges
• 6 Slices of Munster Cheese

Directions


1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the whole pita breads in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the tuna with the relish mixture. Spread an equal amount of the tuna mixture onto each of the pita breads. Arrange tomato wedges over the tuna, and place cheese slices over the top.

3. Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cheese has melted.

* I also provided a lime. Mike and I like to use the tuna plain and just add the juice of one lime with salt and pepper to taste. It's just as good with a few less calories.
