Ingredients:

Serving

1 (6 oz) can tuna, drained (i used chunk light tuna in water because that's what i had on hand, but use your favorite.)
2 tbsp mayonnaise (more or less, to taste. i used hellmann's light.)
3 tbsp fresh salsa (more or less , to taste.)
ground black pepper , to taste
2 -4 slices bread , toasted. (i used whole wheat this time, but english muffins , sandwich flats or pita would also work well)
2 -4 slices american cheese

Directions:

Toast your bread until it is light golden brown. (If it gets too dark during this step, the edges will burn when you put it in the oven/toaster oven later.).
Drain excess liquid from the salsa if it is very juicy. Otherwise, the tuna mixture will be too runny, and the toast will become soggy.
While the bread is toasting, mix the tuna, mayonnaise and salsa in a small bowl.
Spread some of the tuna mixture on each piece of toast.
Place slices on a foil-lined pan in the toaster oven and heat until tuna mixture is warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
Top each piece with a slice of cheese, and put back in oven until cheese is melted.
Enjoy!
