"SPICY TUNA" SALAD
This is a great spicy, low-carb snack when served with vegetables such as celery sticks and endive. It's also great served with baked tortilla chips or low-fat whole-grain crackers. Until recently, canned tuna was most commonly available in 6-ounce cans. But lately, a lot of products have decreased in size-from cereals to ice cream to peanut butter, which now often has a bubble in the bottom of the jar to make it look as big as it once was-even though the prices have not gone down. Be wary of this when you determine how many calories you're consuming. The numbers on this dish are based on the 5-ounce can, not a 6-ounce one-which, by the way, generally contains only 3 1/2 ounces of tuna (the rest is liquid).

Steps:
- Open the 2 cans of tuna and use the lid to squeeze out as much water as you can over a sink.Take off the lids and set aside.
- Take 1 cap full of lime juice in each can and just let it sit until tuna is used again.
- Get about 4 paper towels and stack them. manuever the bacon on the paper towels. Place in the microwave for about 3 minutes. (The benefit to microwaving bacon is only for the crispness.)
- While that's goin, spice up the dill relish. Add the cayenne, pepper, and garlic with the relish and mix thoroughly.
- Take the two cans of tuna and drain out all the extra lime juice. Now mix in the tuna. (make sure you do not "blend" you want the tuna to be decently chunky.
- Put in the mayo and parm, and mix.
- Set out about 20-24 tortilla chips on a couple of plates. Rip up the cheese and place evenly on each tortilla. Take out the bacon and place in the tortillas for probably 20 seconds or until the cheese looks "sweaty". Take out and spoon out 1 teaspoon or more of the tuna salad on each of the tortilla chips.
- Dab the bacon to get off extra grease. Break up the bacon into about dime size pieces and place evenly ontop of the whole tortilla/tuna salad spread.
- You can always add and/or take away ingredients in tuna salad. Enjoy.

- To make a spicier tuna salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
