MARY PAT'S TUNA MELT
This sandwich gets a crunchy finish with chips embedded into the bread. I use very special potato chips that were sent to me from Pennsylvania by my dear friend, MP. But if you can't find Utz®, your favorite chip will work just fine. Serve with more chips and pickles.

This is a very quick and tasty way to turn simple can of tuna fish into a warm meal for dinner, lunch, or snack.

Tips:
- To save time, use canned or pouched tuna. Look for tuna packed in water, not oil, to reduce calories and fat.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to the tuna salad, such as chopped celery, bell pepper, or onion.
- If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can use a teaspoon of chili powder instead. You can also adjust the amount of chipotle pepper to taste.
- Use a good quality bread for the melts. A sturdy bread, such as sourdough or French bread, will hold up well to the filling and won't get soggy.
- For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the tuna and add more vegetables, such as black beans or corn. You can also use crumbled tofu or tempeh instead of tuna.
