Jalapeno Tuna Melts


2 6 ounce cans tuna, drained
1 Jalapeno seeded and minced
1 Stalk celery minced
1/4 cup white onion minced
1 cup minced cilantro
Juice of one fresh lime
1 cup mayonnaise

Mix all the ingredients together for a Mexican flavored tuna salad.

Cut 6 red and 6 green jalapenos in half length ways . Remove the seeds and ribs.

Spoon the tuna into the jalapenos and top with pepper jack cheese. I was told by a reader that if you refrigerate the stuffed peppers for 3 hours before baking, the tuna will absorb the heat from the peppers and make them taste milder. Thank you H!

Place in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
